/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ever since I cut seed oils out of my diet I've found it pretty hard to find healthy snacks that I can eat on a daily basis. I normally eat cottage cheese, plain greek yogurt with some fruit added, and maybe a chunk of cheese. But eating these daily is pretty expensive. I don't really care about sugar so much. I'd even eat stuff like cookies or muffins if they were baked with butter instead of vegetable oils and didn't have soy lecithin and 20 other weird chemicals added.

I'm not in any way trying to cut down on my calories, or carbs, or anything like that. If anything I could gain a few pounds. What does anon each for health/semi-healthy snacks?

A lot of oils are industrial waste products, particularly grapeseed oil, corn oil, and soybean oil. They want you to pay them to dump their waste into your body instead of them having to spend money to discard said waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. It's the same story with water fluoridation.

There is also a lot of bad/corrupt science surrounding dietary fats/oils that the health authorities have clung on to which claims that saturated fats LE BAD, and polyunsaturated fats are "heart healthy". For anyone who does any actual research on the topic, it becomes quickly apparent this narrative is completely backwards, to such an extent that shilling PUFA filled industrial seed oils to the public should be considered a crime against humanity. But because of the ambiguous and unscientific nature of nutritional science, they get to plead ignorance, and the layman is either too dumb or too busy with their day to day lives to notice.

I personally use grass fed butter and render my own tallow from grass fed organic suet that I get from a local farm. My body feels amazing after I eat that stuff, as opposed to how terrible I used to feel after eating anything cooked in vegetable oils. I still occasionally use extra virgin olive oil for certain dishes, but I've cut back a lot on it because I find it too troublesome to make sure my olive oil isn't fake or laced.
