       --- Quote ---
       > Since 2018, the health effects of consuming certain processed
       vegetable oils, or "seed oils" have been subject to
       misinformation in popular and social media. The trend grew in
       2020 after podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan interviewed fad diet
       proponent Paul Saladino about the carnivore diet. Saladino made
       several claims about the health effects of vegetable fats.[1]
       >
       > The theme of the misinformation is that seed oils are the root
       cause of most diseases of affluence, including heart disease,[2]
       cancer,[3] diabetes,[4] and liver spots.[5] These claims are not
       based on evidence,[6] but have nevertheless become popular on
       the political right.[7] Critics cite a specific "hateful eight"
       oils that constitute "seed oils": canola, corn, cottonseed, soy,
       sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and rice bran.[8]
       > ...
       > Opposition to seed oils has been associated with the political
       right. Professor of Russian studies Maya Vinokour, writing for
       the socialist journal Jacobin, described the belief as
       "lifestyle fascism" and "right-wing masculinist discourse".[7]

       It goes without saying that seed oil is of Aryan origin:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame
       --- Quote ---
       > Sesame seed is considered to be the oldest oilseed crop known
       to humanity.[8] The genus has many species, and most are wild
       and native to sub-Saharan Africa.[9] Sesamum indicum, the
       cultivated type,[10][11] originated in India.[6][12][9]
       >
       > Archaeological remnants of charred sesame dating to about
       3500-3050 BC shows that sesame was domesticated in the Indian
       subcontinent at least 5500 years ago.[13][14] The
       archaeobotanist Dorian Q. Fuller states that trading of sesame
       between Mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent occurred by 2000
       BC.[15] It is possible that the Indus Valley civilization
       exported sesame oil to Mesopotamia, where it was known as ilu in
       Sumerian and ellu in Akkadian, similar to the Dravidian
       languages Kannada and Malayalam eḷḷu, Tamil
       eḷ.[16]

       I do agree that there seems to negative health effects
       associated with modern day industrially refined seed oils, which
       of course is Western in origin:

       Which is why I try to buy the cold pressed variants instead.
       But even this is an indictment of Western food processing, not
       seed oils.

       *Half* of the food produced in the world each year is not
       consumed by people.
       Croplands already produce enough calories to support about 14.5
       billion people, nearly double today’s population.
       But half is lost to feed for factory farmed livestock, biofuels,
       or lost throughout the supply chain.
       [In America the figure is a truly grotesque 77% of food not
       consumed by people.]
       And we're told that rewilding marginal land poses a threat to
       food security!
