There’s a war being waged, and it’s not fought with bullets — it’s fought with dinner. The battlefield is your body, and the weapon is hiding in your pantry. They call it “vegetable oil.”
Canola. Soybean. Corn. Sunflower. These aren’t foods — they’re industrial lubricants rebranded as health products. Once upon a time, these oils were fit only for machines. Then came the marketers, the lobbyists, the bureaucrats, and the “experts” who told us this toxic sludge was heart-healthy. They replaced butter with bleach, lard with lab waste, and called it progress.
René Girard would recognize the pattern: the scapegoat mechanism at work. We were told the old ways — animal fats, butter, tallow — were the villains. Cholesterol became the devil. The new “miracle oils” became our saviors. But the crowd was wrong again. Heart disease soared. Inflammation spread. Our minds grew dull while our waistlines expanded.
Seed oils are slow poison — not in the Hollywood sense, but in the civilizational one. They destabilize your cells, distort your hormones, and make you docile, dependent, perpetually hungry. A population sick and foggy is easier to control. The perfect citizen isn’t healthy and free — he’s medicated and confused, worshipping the FDA’s food pyramid like a golden calf.
The good news? The antidote is simple. Real food. Real fat. Real freedom. Return to what your great-grandparents ate — butter, olive oil, eggs, tallow, meat, fruit, and vegetables. Reject the lab coats and the fake science that sold you sickness as nutrition.
The war for your body begins and ends in your kitchen. And victory tastes a lot like butter sizzling in a cast-iron pan.
