It's not
about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.
You need to read the ingredients of everything you eat. If you see a seed oil on the list of ingredients, you should not eat that food. Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and palm oil are minor exceptions, although you shouldn't rely on them as a staple, because monounsaturated fats do still oxidize a little bit. There is also the issue of the ecological destruction that involves palm oil.
I rely on butter, lard, bacon and beef drippings for most of my fats. The olive and avocado oil I use is relatively small in comparison, and I only cook with avocado oil if I'm cooking using heat more than Low. You should be very careful with cooking using olive oil because there will be an increase in toxic end-products like aldehyde. It will be a lot less than seed oils, but it isn't negligible either.
When we expose ourselves to these highly polyunsaturated fat products, we introduce fats that are highly unstable into our cells and mitochondria, which produces free-radicals and oxidized toxic end-products that damage our cells and our mitochondria. This leads to inflammation and an increased load on our immune system, such that we become more vulnerable to all the viruses floating around. The Vitamin D issue being touted around isn't irrelevant, but it's also overhyped as to the actually more relevant matter, the effect of dosing ourselves with too much polyunsaturated fats.
And yes this means sunflower oil and sesame oil. If you season a dish with sesame oil, even if it's just a teaspoon, you are getting oxidized fats. You are also getting toxic end-products if you stir fry with sesame oil. This is why I don't stir fry anymore, and if I want to season a dish with sesame oil, I add it last, when I'm cooking the dish over low heat and have already added the healthy animal fats.

We are supposed to include animal products
The degree to which you incorporate animal products and specific plant based foods is up to you and your genetics, but you must include some animal products because that's what our species is meant to eat. Even if all you do is include butter, cheese, fish, or eggs.

Dr. Hampton
Modern vegetables are typically grown in degraded top soil, where the bacteria in the soil are insufficient to break down and chelate the various plant nutrients that plants take up through their roots. Pesticides (particularly glyphosate) drastically reduce the ground bacteria. Petrochemical fertilizer also has an effect because petrochemical based fertilizer is different than animal dung.
Plant based nutrients are also typically less bioavailable, so you need to eat more mass (weight) to achieve the same basal level of nutrition and energy requirements. Processing more mass is more taxing on the bodies digestion-enzyme-hormonal system. It's like driving a car using gasoline that gets 15 miles per gallon instead of 21 or 25 or even 30. Since there is an upper limit to this system, that means you can only achieve so much from plant based food once you get to the upper limit of what your body can process.

Marjan Philhour
She was born in the same hospital as myself, the French Hospital on 6th and Geary in the heart of the Richmond district of San Francisco. However I will not be voting for or including Majan's name as my 2nd or 3rd choice on the upcoming Ranked-Choice Vote for the next District 1 Supervisor.
The below links are dated (2016, 2020. There's not much after, likely because Marjan's political handlers thought it best to keep a low profile.
4) Marjan Philhour has taken down her political fundraising website Philhour and Associates to hide that she is a political consultant and paint herself as a “community advocate.” While at Philhour and Associates she fundraised for Carmen Chu, Katy Tang, Vicki Hennessy and London Breed.
...
7) If elected supervisor, Marjan Philhour will put renters in the Richmond and across San Francisco at risk. When asked at the District 1 Supervisor forums, Marjan stated that she supports Propositions P and U. These propositions are sponsored by realtors and would gut the creation of affordable housing for lower income people and allow landlords to evict more renters or jack up their rent. The Richmond District is second to the Mission District in terms of evictions, and with 65% of residents being renters, San Franciscans need a supervisor who will protect tenant rights.

They trigger the same pancreatic reaction to sugar and mess up your gut biome.

Superfood bullshit
The term "Super-food" is for "Super sales". The word was created by a marketing firm to sell more bananas. Americans didn't eat a lot of Bananas before World War Two.
A banana is just a big container of sugar with a small amount of nutrients. People say that bananas are good for Potassium, which is a nutrient that is important, but you can get that from other sources that don't also have all the sugar, like Avocados, Carrots, Leafy greens, milk, yogurt, meat and chicken, as well as fish.
One medium banana comes with 26 Carbohydrates, all of which become sugar once the slurry reaches your small intestines. A small banana comes with 23 grams, so if you eat 2 small bananas, you just got 46 grams of stuff that is equivalent to slightly less than 3 Tablespoons of sugar. You did get 720 milligrams of Potassium with the 46 grams however, but ...
One cup of cooked spinach is 839 mg of Potassium and 6.8 carbs. Add a cooked carrot and you get another 108 mg of Potassium. Four slices of cooked bacon and 2 Tablespoons of butter add another 200 mg of Potassium. Four ounces of Salmon adds another 200. Already that's 1338 mg of Potassium, up to 90% of which gets absorbed by your body depending on your bodies needs, because the kidneys recycle the Potassium that is in your blood serum.
Furthermore, 16 fluid ounces of coffee with 2 Tablespoons of half and half milk has 528 mg of Potassium -- and only 10g of Carbohydrates, 4 grams of which is Lactose, a benign form of sugar because it doesn't have the fructose attached to the glucose. It is true that some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies don't produce the enzyme lactase, but that just means the bacteria in their gut eat the lactose, resulting in flatulence - and possible bloating if such people get a lot of lactose in their diet.
Back to Potassium. Potassium is not a nutrient you really have to worry about. If you don't eat processed food or soft drinks or a lot of candy, you will get enough Potassium with what you already normally eat and imbibe.

Vegan propaganda
The issue with the twin study done with 22 twins by Stanford is that they are using LDL as a proxy marker after 8 weeks, when LDL is not a significant factor of future outcomes at all. ESPECIALLY AFTER ONLY 8 WEEKS.
LDL alone is an incomplete, inadequate marker of future health, and is also likely to increase if you include meat and fats in your diet. Which is why this study is contrived to push propaganda.

Paul Mason gives us a primer on a proper understanding of nutrition
This is an amazing summary of everything we have learned about human physiology and their diets.
Paul shares stories from some of his patients who benefited greatly merely by changing the composition of their diets.
At timestamp 10:35 Paul begins to explain insulin and insulin resistance.
At timestamp 12:30 Paul introduces a study that proves the relationship with obesity.
14:25 Paul introduces a study that proves the relationship with chronic diseases
15:10 Paul gets into a comparison between seed oils and sugar, posing the question "Which is worse?"
16:10 Paul introduces the Indian study of Northern vs Southern Rail workers. The Northern rail workers ate more Saturated Fat. The Southern rail workers ate more seed oils.
17:55 Paul explains the molecule and oxidation process of unsaturated fats because there is at least one double carbon bond that is highly reactive
24:40 Paul begins a discussion of Carbohydrates
25:58 Paul discusses how glucose in the blood is affected by insulin
37:25 Paul discusses what happens when you combine elevated glucose levels in the blood with seed oils
38:00 Paul introduces a study a relationship with the development of atherosclerosis
38:58 Paul discusses dementia, or type 3 Diabetes
40:30 Paul shows cat scans of a normal brain and a brain of someone with Alzheimer's Disease where the Brain is so insulin resistant that it is being starved of energy
49:00 Paul begins to discuss Bone Health. Newsflash: you need BOTH protein AND minerals – not just Calcium – to strengthen your bones
53:10 Paul mentions the importance of the precise ratios between calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and Chloride
55:30 Paul discusses sleep disturbances like sleep apnea
56:20 Paul brings up the relationship between the tongue and sleep apnea
56:50 Paul shows an MRI showing the fat accumulation of the tongue
57:40 Paul discusses how the immune system is compromise by insulin resistance
58:36 Paul discusses the myth of Salt being "bad" and explains what actually causes high blood pressure
1:03:00 Paul mentions a meta-analysis of multiple studies that showed that there was an inverse relation between LDL and your risk of death in a large number of them – the higher the LDL, the smaller the risk
One thing I find interesting, the fact that the Dietary Authorities have since eliminated the upper recommended intake of Salt (Sodium). Don't worry about salt. Trust your taste buds. If you intake too much salt, your body will taste the saltiness as being too much.
I also liked how Paul brings up the discussion of the fact that omega-6, omega-3 type polyunsaturated fats AND ALSO Mono unsaturated are inherently prone to oxidation, which is why you should not cook with olive oil and keep it in cool dark dry place, because olive oil can also oxidize.
Oxidation creates toxic end-products that are inflammatory. Your body sees the molecules as fatty acids, but they don't act like fatty acids because of the oxidation, and thusly too many of these oxidized particles begin to overwhelm your bodies mechanisms to deal with them.
That is why you need and should predominantly rely on saturated fats. They are stable and do not oxidize.
