We absolutely waste more energy and resources making cheap, unhealthy substitutes than just doing the right thing.

It's undisputable and I think (most) everyone knows it.

Good comments. The consumer drives the market. Making people aware of what they are consuming is a big first step. Once the market demands change, the tech will follow

Most people don't care. Same with 50 year mortgages. They will see a low monthly payment for a house they will never own and jump at the chance to "own" it.
I care about what I rest but not enough to take a hard stance and do what I believe is best for me. It's about convenience, and price, and flavor I guess.

When I learned that rapeseed oil was invented as a substitute for diesel fuel ... *say no more!*

That's the one fact I share with people about seed oils. If that's not enough, they're on their own.

Back when Bill Clinton was president he sold off a large quantity of the strategic diesel supply. He caught a lot of grief but they were replacing it with canola oil (same thing). They were also letting farmers pay off back taxes with canola. The stubble after harvest is good for grazing cattle also.

This assumes that the average NPC is more influenced by its reason than its wallet, tastebuds, susceptibility to propaganda, etc.

Most people’s instant reaction when confronted with broad uncomfortable facts like that is denial and their defensive mechanism is to dismiss it as a conspiracy theory on the same level as chem trails.

Very true, but awareness is the starting point

I cook with butter and olive oil. Consumers drive the market. If I cannot afford either of those, I eat something else. Personal choices drive demand

I do x therefore its true! If the government didnt heavily subsidize corn syrup for nearly a century it would not be pervasive in the food market. It would not economically make sense to grow massive amounts of shitty nutritionless corn and store it in silos to rot without gov handouts.
