How The World's "Healthiest" Oil is Made

#1

Let’s give a round of applause for everybody’s favourite vegetable oil, canola oil! Would you just look at that delicious goop that’s used to produce vegetable shortening?

“Canola oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils. Compared to olive, sunflower and soybean oils, it has the lowest level of saturated fat, 7%. It also contains more healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and is high in monounsaturated fat which lowers (you’ve got it!) cholesterol.”

Here, we’ve got a 70 minute long wash with a solvent, a 20 minute long wash with sodium hydroxide (any soap makers on here?), filtration, bleaching, and then a steam injection heating process to remove the “canola” odor. I wonder how butter is made, with it being so terrible for you? Oh wait, I’ve made it at home many times, and it can literally be made by skimming cream off some milk and shaking it in a jar.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #2

At least canola oil is made by nice, clean machinery. Butter is made from liquid excreted from a cow! :scream:

It’s a hard to look away macabre horror film.

Liquid, excreted, from a-a cow? Milk comes from cows?? You’ve really opened up my eyes on the horrors of butter, Paul. Thank you, truly. In lieu of this new information, I’ll have to go throw out the 5 pounds of butter in my fridge, and will have to remember next time I go to the store to buy a couple of litres of canola oil and a few tubs of margarine made from primarily canola oil.

That poor steak is being fried in it.

I feel bad for the person that ate that steak, and the cow, for that matter. The poor thing had to die all over again, being cooked like that.
