And is there some way to address that issue -- without eating a couple of tablespoons of seeds every day? They're giving you over 100 calories, much of it fat, that you may not want or need, and every day.
As Dr. McD says, the fat you eat is the fat you wear. He doesn't make any distinction there between fats from animals and fats from plants.

I could be happier. I thought I'd try the sesame seeds as they might boost my serotonin. On the other hand seeing as I started a plant food diet because my blood pressure was 180/90 the fat is a worry.

Eating sesame seeds to be happy sounds like a snake oil cure.
If it works at all, I’ll bet it’s the placebo effect.
