it's actually true. they cause serious inflammation which aggravates serious downstream health problems. like, you shouldn't be eating seed oils in any large quantity that you would get from regularly eating deep fried foods
oh but wait, eating foods with beef tallow and other saturated fats also causes health problems. except, those problems only show up when you eat large quantities of them, such as if you were regularly eating deep fried foods
so what if it wasn't the seed oils that were the problem for many people, but rather, consuming lots of seed oil - as you might find if you ate a lot of deep fried food?
what if it's not the seed oils that are causing you to get fat and feel like shit all the time? what if it's the quantity of fats that you're consuming? and, what if not eating seed oils is actually an easy an effective way to avoid eating deep fried foods as a second order effect?
that'd be crazy. better just jump on the new fad diet.
I mean, it could all be a psy-op by the animal agriculture lobby to get people to eat even more meat and less veggies.

I usually use seed oils, in very small amounts (to get a pan going). I consume red meats infrequently (just not my favorite thing, idk im weird), but when I do, I totally use the fats from them to cook the rest of the meal.
Anyways, having been eating "clean" for a year, I always feel like shit after eating fried foods. Or maybe, I just notice that I feel it more.
Your farts are probably legendary.
If fats are good and carbs are bad, it's the message people want to hear: do not moderate or change your habits, just eat as much as you want of the "good" thing because it's good!
I don't think you're wrong tbh, since before there was a big psy-op by the grain agri lobby to portray fat in a bad light, pushing for low-fat (but often high sugar/carb) and vegetable oil alternatives.
I mean for all these ones there's a grain (ha!) of truth, but the absolutist "X is bad for you" is definitely wrong. The core of every diet opinion seems to be "nothing in excess" / "you need a balanced diet". But that's more difficult than "eat only X" or "avoid Y".
The real issue, as I see it, is that there was a huge change in pattern in availability and consumption of those fats in the last 50 years.
And then ten years later new evidence for that thing comes out that's like "maybe not so bad after all!" and a new set of backlash morality. These things are politically affiliated now too if they can be depending on who picks up which evidence first.
Each decade people get bored and find something new to be upset about.
"gluten" is definitely way down these days and "seed oils" haven't yet hit their peak.
