How would the opposite not be true? "an appeal to the modern". Just because something like palm oil is new, must it be better? Consider that for years the "new" advice was to recommend aspirin to prevent heart attacks. [https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000678] If you ignored this advice some smarmy pill pusher would say you're appealing to nature. What about non-addictive painkillers like oxycotton. From wikipedia: "A genetically engineered rapeseed that is tolerant to the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate)". "Exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A meta-analysis and supporting evidence" [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13835...]. So from the beginning the product is tainted. Then the oil is bleached for a more palatable color. It refined like other industrials oils and often interchangeable for machining uses.

Mouse experiments showed weight gain and memory loss/alzheimers [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17373-3]

While mice are not humans, American obesity has grown since the use of seed oils has grown.

Seed oil advocates themselves appeal to "the good ol days", as many peoples have allegedly used rape seed oil over history.

Maybe we should just stop putting gross amounts of sugar in everything. People have no problems getting rid of beef or meats. We should be able to get rid of some of our worst industries. Environmental case for this stuff is bad because of insane amount of chemicals necessary to grow unnattural (i.e. GMO) products. Those chemicals then run off and poison the environment. Then we need to add more chemicals, (i.e. flouride) to deal with consumption. Economically sugar/corn-syrup receive an enormous amount of subsidies. From a human rights perspective sugar farming is terrible (google Fanjuls to learn more). Obesity was the greatest risk factor besides age for COVID-19, so if as a society we can start mandating the jab, we can mandate some people don't get their "treats".
