Hey everyone.. maybe this is a dumb question, but recently I’ve been wondering why people hate Mayo and say it’s so unhealthy!
Like isn’t it just.. eggs, oil, and seasoning?
Those are all things that to their own extents aren’t considered unhealthy when being looked individually, so why is it that when put together to create Mayo, they suddenly create something unhealthy?
I know Mayo is considered a fat, but I didn’t think it was THAT bad? And aren’t there healthy fats as well?

It’s almost entirely oil. Oil, of course, isn’t unhealthy in small doses, but it’s really easy to let it get out of hand and eat too much oil. Just one tablespoon of olive oil has 119 calories. 5 to 7 of those is the caloric content of an entire meal, and people can easily dump that much on a dish.
The only thing really holding people back from eating way too much oil is that its texture and flavor, when by itself and unseasoned, is unpalatable. Putting too much oil on food can make it taste bad. Enter mayonnaise, which comes seasoned and balanced with acid and with a really pleasant texture, which means it can get out of control quickly.
I worked at a Subway back in the day. Some people have no self control with the mayonnaise. it just tastes too good to them.
