That point is here, right now. Michael Pollan and much of the food blog-o-sphere has been writing about this for years. The article is tone deaf to say the least.
- ecmascript 4y agoYes of course there is a lot of talk about it but it's hard to actually prove anything since studies on food are extremely hard due to the many variables that exist. Another example is the extreme use of vegetable oils that was supposed to be healthy but as it turns out it seems like it is quite the reverse. Even if it is proven to be unhealthy it will continue to be in everything because it's cheap and makes products last longer. I don't know how it is in other countries, but at least in my country of origin (Sweden) they have pushed a lot of oat milk for example but pretty much all milk derivatives have vegetable oil in them and a lot of it too. Then they make adverts suggesting it to be the more healthy option.
