Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I only see an obsession with protien from gym bros and health influencers that say shit like seed oils are posionous. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Anything wrong with seed oils would be from chemical used in their production or contamination of the soil and air where it's grown.
The fact none of them have mentioned that, shows they are acting cynically and in bad faith, refraining from calling out the real culprits of problems as they play the sheep for their own benefit.
That said, the protein thing is way bigger than gym bros and health influencers. For over 15 years seemingly half the population is ocnvinced they are one high carb meal away from protein starvation.
You mean the industrial oils that didn't exist 150 year ago, and thus are brand spanking new to the human experience?
Shut the fuck up. Go to SE Asia and tell them nobody ate oil from crushed up seeds 150 years ago. Goddamn.
Not as a major source of nutritional energy, and regardless that isn't what modern seed oils are today - they are highly refined industrial outputs that are so far removed from "crushed up seeds" its laughable.
Rapeseed oil is poisonous to humans unless it is chemically modified in refineries to make Canola. The population is fed 22 million tonnes of Canola a year.
Lots of things are poisonous before we process them, including many things we've been eating almost since the discovery of fire.
