I don't understand what you mean. Seed oils aren't in most things; if seed oil is in even half the food you eat, your diet is likely appalling. I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten seed oil in at least a few months. I mean yeah if you're eating Doritos, sure, but it's really not that hard to cook from whole foods.

Plastic is much harder to avoid; not even remotely close I'd say.

If you buy anything premade in any way, to the level of white bread, it has seed oils

I don't buy anything pre-made, generally. If it's not seed oil it's HFCS or some other garbage ingredient. I 98% just buy ingredients themselves. The bread I buy is whole wheat and I've just confirmed that it does not have seed oils.

The thing is, I'd like to stress that I don't go out of my way to do this or expend much extra effort. It's not a burden to eat a potato instead of a cup ramen or something. People just don't care about their health and buy every trash food they see.
