This was pictured in CNN's special TV show entitled, "America's Killer Diet." It shows how in the early 1960s soybean oil consumption in the USA began to increase significantly, and continued to do so up to the present. This makes clear my point about people having arachidonic acid in their cells now, whereas prior to about 1960, this would not have been the case for the overwhelming majority of Americans. One the bottom left, the year is 1909. Middle bottom is 1954, Bottom right appears to be 1999. Note that there was no canola oil being consumed until the 1980s, and that has also risen in a similar way since its introduction, which means the situations is even worse that the chart indicates. Note that this chart is just for the four fat sources listed. Butter consumption, for example, has decreased (at least relative to calories consumed).
