Because they’re running counter to big agribusiness and other evil government and corporate types, it piques my interest, but most of these people seem dangerously adjacent to “carnivore diet” weirdos. I’m vegan I’m not gonna use tallow dude. Coconut oil would be fine thanks.
Anyone smarter than me know the real score?
Nah, it's just the new bro science diet fad. Unless you're deep frying stuff every day it's not really a huge deal what fat you use to cook with. It's certainly not gonna make or break your diet. Most vegetable oils are probably even slightly healthier than "natural" fats like butter due to fat composition.
The Joe Rogan conspiracy theory of seed oils secretly being what's destroying people's health is obviously undocumented nonsense.
