Bad Seeds

Leave seed oils alone:

Study after study with large randomized control trials shows they are a healthier alternative to saturated fats and can be part of a balanced diet. The American people should be able to make their own decisions, and more government dictates would only upend the food industry and drive costs higher for ordinary Americans. Some Make America Healthy Again activists also want to target some seed oils with heavy-handed government crackdowns. These regulatory calls are just as counterproductive. Seed oils, made from plants like corn and soybean, are ubiquitous in food production, found in everything from salad dressings to baked goods to fried foods. They are widely used not only because of their affordability but also because they provide the necessary fats and stability for safe and affordable food production. If government regulators impose restrictions or bans on these oils, food manufacturers and restaurants will be forced to find alternatives—many of which are over five times more expensive. That cost increase will be passed down to consumers, just as we’ve seen with other government-imposed disruptions to supply chains.

You will pay for their crusade...
