Humorous car rant about foodfrom @higherupwellness

[01]

Overview

The creator delivers a passionate, humorous monologue from his car, debunking a fan's assumption that he is an 'anti-seed oil' health advocate. He lists his unapologetically unhealthy eating habits, like consuming McDonald's and mayonnaise, to firmly distance himself from strict diet culture and establish his relatable, unbothered persona.

Transcript

Someone really looked me dead in my face the other day and said, I know you're anti seed oil, so you'll appreciate this take. Who told you that? Who told you that, my boy? You got the wrong guy. Not me. I eat McDonald's. I put mayo on my sandwiches. I eat out three, four times a week. I good give a damn about a seed oil. If a seed oil gets me, I was supposed to go. You got the wrong health and wellness guy for show. Not my problem. Not my realm of concern, care, or worry. Sorry.
