There is a conservative conspiracy theory about "seed oils" being bad. So replacing coconut oil or tallow with sunflower oil is ... "how they get you" or whatever. This is very annoying for me, as I'm allergic to sunflowers. And I've already been suffer since sunflower oil is used to replace peanut oil to help people with the more common allergy. But now I need to sound like a crazy person when I ask about it all the time. And I must ask because it's not "big five" and so isn't on the label.

@futurebird It's not a conservative conspiracy theory, it's a non-partisan conspiracy theory.

@futurebird I wondered about seed oils for a while but never saw anything that quite convinced me so I stopped worrying about them.

@futurebird wait, which of coconut or sunflower oil is supposed to not be a "seed oil"?

@adrake They seem mostly upset about sunflower and sesame seed oil?

@futurebird Oh, and I know what you mean about when something you say or do risks getting you lumped in with a crowd you do not align with. Whaddaya gonna do. All I can think of is to laugh at the George Constanza-ness of it -- imagine the comic lengths I would go to in order to "fix" people's impressions of me. Which of course would only make things worse.

@cocoadog I had someone tell me off about "seed oils are fine" and I'm like. But... that one will KILL me it will kill me dead. Please stop. Then I found out the nonsense.

@futurebird Ugh. At least for me it's only been a matter of appearances, never life and death.

@futurebird @cocoadog You could print out a card to show them with the medical snake and starburst icon and the text: "DANGEROUS SUNFLOWER ALLERGY: ANAPHYLAXIS"
