Yeah that's what I mean with regards to smoke point being a crude measurement. It doesn't tell you much, except that the oil begins smoking at that temperature.
oh haha ok, nvm, carry on. I guess I'm just primed for seed oil discourse, I don't know why so many people these days think they're gonna get cancer if they consume just a drop of oil.
This is also in regards to your carnist talking points comment further down, but isn't this more of a symptom of the 2000's fad diets?
I remember "vegetable oil = bad" being as old as Paleo and the guys championing it aren't vegans but they're not Liver King type dudes either, meatheads used to make fun of them for eating too many vegetables and it was more about "primal living," faux-"wellness," and "detoxing" type shit.

Yea I remember vegetable oil being bad from around the trans fat news cycle era ๐ค๐ค๐ค
yeah I do agree the seed oil discourse has a wider audience than purely carnivores. I've honestly mostly encountered it from carnivores who use it to promote cooking with butter, lard and tallow, which is where that comment came from. But you're right, there are a lot of other fad diets that have latched on to the whole seed oil thing, some of which are actually vegan or compatible with veganism.
