Reading The Fiat Standard and have found the Fiat Food chapter fascinating. He goes into details on how fiat has ushered in industrial food products produced for maximum consumption, minimal cost, all while eliminating their nutritional values that their earlier versions had.
But I can’t help myself that perhaps he is being a tad alarmist (although I agree with the overall chapter).
For instance, he talks about cooking oils, and how many of our vegetable oils, grape seed oil in particular (they read it rapeseed in the audiobook, tongue in cheek I suppose) are highly toxic chemical concoctions. I just bought grape seed oil a couple weeks ago for the first time, lol/oops. He also harps on canola oil, and any seed oil. I’ve been cooking with canola oil for many years, perhaps due to my own brainwashed reasoning that it is low in saturated fat. But am I really poisoning myself and my family? The book makes the case that fats are healthy and many years of food propaganda changed minds over the years, but I feel like this has or is becoming popular again (eating animal fats, red meat, etc.)
Anyone else read this chapter and think it was a bit alarmist, although correct as well? I’m going to consume the rest of our oils and start making small changes to the food we buy after reading this, but I’m interested in more books on this topic if anyone has suggestions.
