Wait! What! Liberal activists drinking seed oil to protest against Robert Kennedy Jr.? –

How far the liberal activists will go to register their protest?
Seems like they won’t even mind chugging some seed oil as well!
Recently, a post that went viral on social media went viral that shows a video of a liberal activist drinking canola oil in protest of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), allegedly shows a protest video of a man drinking seed oil to lash out at Kennedy’s stance on the product. The man in the video says several expletives as he sits on an upside-down bucket before he drinks from a bottle of oil. The caption of the same post reads, “Liberals are now CHUGGING seed oils to protest RFK Jr…”

How is RFK Jr. related to seed oil?

Roughly a month ago, US President Donald Trump’s then Health Secretary pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, sparked controversy by calling seed oils ‘poisonous’.
Kennedy’s claims surrounding the toxicity of seed oils gained momentum, especially within certain social media circles, sending shockwaves through social media and health-conscious communities. The oils in question included popular choices such as canola, soybean, and sunflower oil.
Kennedy claimed that these oils were toxic for human intake and should be avoided by all means. Kennedy went further to conclude that their consumption is directly related to various health problems, ranging from obesity to cancer.
However, nutrition experts refuted his claims, citing studies showing their potential heart-health benefits and nuanced effects. Nutrition scientists and experts pushed back against those claims, noting that the issue was significantly more nuanced than Kennedy was making it out to be. But experts spoke up about the issue, saying evidence didn’t support the idea that seed oils were poisonous.

The reality check:

Based on the aforementioned context, it might seem like that the liberal activists might be protesting against the vilification of seed oils. However, that’s not the truth of the viral video of chugging seed oil.
The video was originally posted to the account idgaffoods, the account’s username is visible underneath the TikTok logo in the video. The account is known for making videos related to food products the account’s bio reads, “just eat it!” Another video shows him drinking raw eggs and pickle juice.
According to GQ, the account’s creator said his message is “the worst food in the world is better than the drugs that he was once addicted to.”
The creator remained unnamed, but shared he has been sober since 2012 and that his anxiety about germs and toxins caused him to take benzodiazepines, these videos are “exposure therapy,” the outlet reported.
Furthermore, at no point in the video did he mention Kennedy.
