@Alex @arcana I think butter (namely organic butter from grass-fed cows) and animal fats are superior to most seed oils, but it is generally agreed upon in alternative health that coconut oil blows both of those out of the water, but good luck finding restaurants that cook with coconut oil unless you live in a tropical area.

Regardless, the fact of the matter is that it is much easier to find organic, grass-fed beef and dairy products than it is to find organic peanuts, at least from my experience. Peanuts and soybeans are often genetically modified so they can be more resistant to pesticides.
>Whatever valid arguments people have against particular types of oils get drowned out by these stupid culture war arguments 99% of the time
Honestly, I didn't know many people who were talking about this shit outside of alternative health circles. A lot of them are conspiracy theorists, but honestly, before COVID and before Trump appointed RFK, most mainstream RWers didn't pay attention to this shit outside of the soy meme. Do you really think MAGAtards gave a damn when their idol is known for bringing McDonald's during board room meetings? From my experience, the alternative health community are mostly libertarians and non-culture war leftists. Just go to your local health food store to see what I'm talking about.
