Sure but it's never gonna be faster or lower-energy than not doing it

Meanwhile the same people complaining about the energy intensity of their phone ui are the same people who refuse to use cheap foodstuffs like canola oil and instead demand exotic things like avacado oil. Come on bffr

Thats because canola oil is objectively terrible for your health and will make you die young. Jury is out on avacado oil but for cooking, its tallow, butter and cocount oil if you want to avoid burnout and premature aging.

I keep hearing this but as far as AHA and other credible sources that I have learned from, saturated fats are better be replaced with unsaturated:

unsaturated fats from whole avacados, olive oil and coconut oil, sure. But I think the jury is still very much out on a whole class of oils originally meant for industrial lubrication that we started pushing into the american diet. As far as the american heart association being trustworthy, they are very much bought and paid for right back to their founding from a large grant to promote crisco.

Besides that, I'm wary of the saturated fats claim being true given that most of the studies were done on middle aged white men on a standard american diet. it didn't account for excessive calories and high levels of sugar in the diet. We've been eating animal products for thousands of years (inuits eating it exclusively) with little to no issues. Why would these suddenly now be a problem?

> same people

No they’re not.
