Many tout the "good fats" and stuff like PUFA, MUFA and demonize saturated fats (this is how it's spelled out in simple research).
But if you look at most fast food places it's obvious that nearly everything has tons of PUFA/MUFA and lower saturated fat. Given this, what do most people base it being unhealthy off of? If fast food is "bad fat," why do people run from saturated fats/dairy sometimes and bask themselves in nuts, avocados and etc., which all have the same types of fats as those mostly dominating fast food? Also, same with lots of soy they add possibly too + other things. I don't get the contradiction myself.
Isn't this kind of clearly painting the picture on what's making it unhealthy then?
Also, does anyone know why fast food places rely on vegetable oils/peanut oils for cooking everything? Why can't they use butters, coconut oils, ghee, sauce-based cooking or even more "dry" cooking? You can season the burgers/chicken/etc. well without all of the oils they use, so what's the point? It's almost like it's made unhealthy on purpose.
It seems fast food is unhealthy probably because of tons of PUFA in such small amounts of food. The salt, added flavors, soy and sugars seem to be less bad than the fact that these places drown everything in peanut/vegetable oils and such, when they could make the stuff taste very similar without the PUFA at all most likely.
