I don't like the absolutist judgements people put on various foods. This is good. This is bad. The fact is that it's not that simple. There is nuance and complexity to consider, along with the individual consumer's unique physiology, and lifestyle. That's why I don't support bans, in addition to the fact that I don't think the government should be deciding what people can and cannot choose to consume. Because that's not freedom. That's giving autonomy over to the state, which I definitely don't like!

there is quite litetally nothing bad that can be said of coconut oil. nothing at all. anyone and everyone can benefit from it so long as produced properly. zero harm in any possible way.
when it comes to real food, if a person has issues when consuming it the issue is with the person, not the food that has been consumed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
It seems the only reason the establishment warns about its use is its high saturated fat content. But it also has a ton of benefits. So I think it makes more sense for people who have a preexisting heart condition for which saturated fats are a risk to selectively decide for themselves whether or not to consume it. For a large portion of the population, saturated fats aren't an issue, so it really doesn't make sense to make the blanket judgement that it's bad. Again, it's something informed individuals should choose for themselves based on their own criteria.
I agree it’s not freedom and I’m not supportive of any bans
