    Yes I thought the same. Except for coconut.

    Coconut “oil” is a fat if you’re using the regular definition of room temperature. It’s solid at room temperature and has high saturated fat content (>90%), even worse than dairy (~60-70%). I know there are some other aspects to it that makes people enthusiastic but I don’t think there is any solid evidence that those aspects compensate the huge amount of saturated fat.

    You should get about 2x more unsaturated than saturated fats. So dairy, pork and coconut fat should not be a large part of the fat in your diet.

    Indeed, olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil and basically every oil except coconut has more unsaturated than saturated fat and will help you balance your fat types.

    I’m sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your comment by a lot.

    I read about Slavoy Zizek’s philosophy and ideas and in that context, “I would prefer not to” is the ultimate rejection of capitalism and some sort of super-resistance, if I understood correctly.

    I thought you meant to dismiss the whole group of ideas without reading them based on how convinced you are of Zizek’s ideas, and were blaming me for “supporting the system”. That’s why I reacted so aggressively, I’m sorry, that was bullshit.

    P.S. I do tend to get stuck in these rabbit holes of philosophy.

    I’m not sure if I should feel sad for you, or envious. To be so certain of your own point of view and take pride in not taking other ideas seriously. It must give some sense of calm but at the same time, you miss out on so much. I won’t ask or recommend you anything though, I read the thing. Enjoy your wall staring. Let’s hope it will make the world a better place.
