There's really no need to become overly fixated on seed oils, just like how soy was the "it" problem for a few years. 90% of the average Americans weight problems can be traced back to too many calories and too many of those calories being from some form of sugar. It's great if people are educating themselves about the healthiest diet but the average persons problem is simply that they eat too much.

the average persons problem is simply that they eat too much.

And they don't get enough protein. Everyone should get at least 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight they have (unless they're obese, then you do height in cm although more protein is never bad really), if everyone was doing this it would make a bigger difference than any other dietary change.

Many of us consciously eat a high-protein diet, with protein-rich products readily available, but how much protein do we really need? And does it actually help us lose weight?
