But why has consumption allegedly been so high in China.
@Rah1woot do you have an angle on that?

I know you're not asking me but I'll just chime in anyways.
: China eats soybeans and soybean oil in high quantity.
Why?
Anti-starvation post-war measures surely has to be a part of it. Peat talked about cottonseed oil rising after the Civil War and eventually becoming a commonplace item in the 1920s-30s as other seed oils began to be produced. Fred Kummerow was working with corn / soy animal feeds for poultry. Turkeys fed corn I think he said lasted many months frozen whereas typical turkeys went bad much sooner. This enabled the military to increase overseas occupation in WWII and secure a food supply.I'm not sure about China or Russia but I believe the Cold War was a fake crisis that involved lots of high level officials and bureaucrats trading information and technology with "enemy" states (USSR). Or maybe all of this food and nutrition technology was already available?
Anyways, soybeans grow natively in China. The oils seem to be a western export though. Water is added to meat and other items to increase weight which gives the producer more profit. I'm imagining that seed oil is pumped into everything in order to maximize profits because all shipping goes by weight.

@nicemushroom17 I would agree completely, same happened to me after breaking my leg last year. I was perfect health before that, then suddenly hypothyroidism and so many ailments. It became an obsession.

I wonder if it's a coincidence someone allegedly called "STELLA LYU", allegedly from "Zhengzhou", created 124 threads of utter shit on this forum this morning. It's not very nice.

@ThinPicking LOL. Sorry to bring that plague upon your NodeBB instance.
Postscript: I don't have a good answer as to why China /continues/ to use lots of PUFA in the diet today. I wonder if their culture or science even considers it to be a problem at all, may be interesting to look into at some point. A lot of Peatarianism comes from Soviet science... was any of that transferred to China? It was my Soviet-educated parents who first told me about how glucose was important for brain function.
The very recent rise of coffee culture in China, overriding a tea culture, is also interesting to observe.

@PEATCEL natty lol. What's your definition of "natty"
-
That's bizarre. Also I can't see any of the threads you're talking about.

Again, isn't the main idea cost efficiency and government subsidies, true for any government across the world?

I levelled up my mod skills by learning you can select multiple threads under categories and mass delete them. Thanking Stella Lyu kindly for the lesson.

Probably random or keyword monitoring and me saying "China". Bigger one inbound.
Thank you both for the angles.
