Can you elaborate further? I think of myself as pretty online (sadly) and I haven't heard anyone, right or left, talk about the politics of seed oils.

EDIT: should've searched first. Sigh.

> Seed oil avoidance is right-wing coded, it's undeniable.

Even taking that claim at face value, "right-wing coded" is hardly the same as "hilariously politicized". Living in rural areas is right-wing coded as well[1], but nobody would seriously call it "hilariously politicized", especially when you consider the broader context of the phrase:

>A lot of people get very angry when seed oil dangers are mentioned, it's hilariously politicized

Yes, a large segment of conservatives have taken the place that previously left-wing hippies occupied wrt skepticism of mainstream health advice, and seed oils is a major subject, I would say even iconic, with places like Reddit vehemently disagreeing and calling it anti-science or whatever. I agree that it's unfortunate, but currently this previously left-wing impulse to favor "natural", "unprocessed" products is predominantly found in right-wing circles.

Understandable, it's delicious. It's great for salad seasonings too, but you're surely aware of that :P.

Give Zero Acre fermented ("cultured") oil a try.
