Short YouTube video (a "short") by Anne Truong MD explaining which dietary fats are "good" versus "bad." The speaker lists examples of good fats (salmon; nuts and seeds; soy products such as soy milk, soybeans, tofu; peanut butter/peanuts; avocado) and contrasts them with bad fats (fried foods like french fries; red-meats and fast-foods such as hamburgers, ribs, steak; hydrogenated vegetable oil; chips, pastries, cookies, ice cream; whole-fat dairy such as cheese; lard). The speaker notes that the "bad" foods raise cholesterol.

I get this question a lot. What is good fat and bad fat? What should I eat that is good for me? Well, you see in the left column here, Salmon, nuts, seeds, soy milk. Well, not too much, but sometimes soy milk can contribute to estrogen as well. Soybeans, tofu, peanut butter and peanuts, and avocado. Those are the good fat. And you want to avoid fried food. French fries, hamburger, ribs, steak, hydrogenated vegetable oil, chips, pastries, cookies, ice cream, whole fat dairy products like cheese and lard. Those are all the good food, isn't it? The bad fats are all the good food, but unfortunately, they cause your cholesterol to rise.
