Imagine a world powered by vegetable oil! Badass

Considering vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil, etc.) are predominantly extracted using hexane, a petroleum solvent, the world would be much better if vegetable oils were used for fuel and not for food. Sadly, most people think vegetable oil is “healthy,” the opposite couldn’t be more true. So sad.
Edit: Stick to cold pressed olive oil or sesame oil, which are simply pressed to extract the oil. Chances are, if you need a petroleum solvent to extract the oil from something, it wasn’t put on this earth for our consumption.
