What’s baffling? They’re crackpots and charlatans. They feel no obligation to tell the truth or to even make sense.
Yeah, they’ve been going on about this for a while.
You’re right, “food influencers” and the “Manosphere” at large have been spouting nonsense about plant oils for a long time. That realm is rife with pseudoscience from people who think you don’t eat enough meat and that eating vegetables makes you weak. They try to sell strength to people by speaking confidently about being strong while also making shit up and lying about it.
I’ll never forget a phrase I heard about a certain type that loves to work out and talk about it with almost everyone to the exclusion of nearly anything else, and has turned to some way of trying to profit from that. Some times they might become a trainer or an influencer or sell supplements or what have you. Nothing wrong with those things in themselves so much, but it’s when they make the leap from their anecdotal experiences to thinking they have any credentials in nutrition or being an MD, etc…
That phrase was “bro science”.
Having worked for a company once that was FILLED with this type due to the industry we were in, I wish so very much I could go back in time with that phrase. Holy shit. I found them laughable and that’s BEFORE I became fully vegetarian. The amount of unsolicited stupid “advice” I got, involving basic nutrition that they were wrong about was off the charts.
Anyway, later on, I became vegetarian and wow, I sure have had my fill of “bro science” when it comes to what I eat. Favorite starter is: “but where do you get your protein?” Holeeeeee fuck.
I love the Ron Swanson cos players that get their T levels up by strictly eating Steak, butter and Whiskey
Yeah, for the last couple of years at the food bank when they give out soy or canola oil plenty of people turn it down and say they don’t use seed oil because it’s toxic. People are missing out on perfectly good food because of these clowns. (I don’t like the taste of canola oil but I’ll still use it if it’s what’s available)
He’s a fucking nut. How is anyone baffled?
Well don’t dump it! Burn it for fuel at least! If you’re goanna be retarded at least be a smart retarded asshole!
