One of my classmates, who is apparently “bulking up,” straight drank vegetable oil today. He claimed it was “the most pure form of fat there is.” When I tried to tell him that it was perhaps olive or coconut oil that he was confusing it with, he simply reiterated his belief that the fat was the most pure and therefore healthy. At first he just sipped a few tablespoons, then he just guzzled a bunch.
My head then exploded.
Cool story bro…
But srsly, people are stupid so Im not too surprised.
Why the fuck would anyone drink vegetable oil? Dumb fucks out there
Oddly enough, the term “vegetable oil” doesn’t refer to any specific substance, but rather the term includes coconut oil, olive oil, and many others.
If the OP wants some further head-exploding, actually I don’t think coconuts and olives are classed as “vegetables” but rather as fruits. Similarly, corn and rapeseed (“canola”) are I think grains, and then there are a number of oils from nuts and legumes as well, which likewise aren’t classed as vegetables.
All these are classed as “vegetable,” though not as “vegetables.” Oh the pressure in the head.
it was prob soybean oil
Wesson labels their soybean oil as Vegetable Oil, so that well could be.
if hes going to be sipping on any oil, it should definitely be Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

for the obvious reason that people are stupid
You could probably fabricate an article and convice him to drink motor oil. That could be entertaining.
Saying you drink vegetable oil is like saying you eat animal food. It’s not terribly descriptive.
I don’t think its that “stupid” per say. I believe it’s detrimental, but that doesn’t show a lack of intelligence. I’m guessing the thought process is “the fda says vegetable (and to be fair to the fda that does include plenty of good oils) based oils are healthier to eat than saturated animal fats”. Combine that with “I’ve heard from body building coaches that fats are really calorie dense and don’t fill you up too much”. Thats just a misapplication of information.
Now if he really is thinking soy bean oil is the most refined and therefore the most pure… well he would probably be right. Chemically, the ultra processed oils are the most uniform. Now why he would think that makes it desirable I’m not sure. My theory is the original line of thought.
Let him know though. Friends don’t let friends get runny shits AND bad physique results.
