In the 1940s weren't farmers feeding hogs poisons to reduce their 
thyroid hormone so they would gain more weight on less food?  In the 
1950s, didn't they discover that they could do the same thing by feeding 
them polyunsaturates?

Corn oil appeared in 1889 and soy oil in 1930.  The heavy propaganda to 
substitute polyunsaturates for animal fats came later.  Didn't most 
American become overweight as polyunsaturates took over?
