What is Canola

[cgoodwin]

It seemed odd to me that everyone kept telling me that "Canola Oil" was the same as "Rapeseed Oil" so I did a little research. What I found out about "Rapeseed Oil" how it is made and what it really is was very disturbing, let me just say - The name says it all! Really disgusting!

I dug deeper and discovered that in fact Canola is not even a plant, it is in fact the local name for the animal we know as the Capibara! Yes the worlds largest rodent! We have been duped! Believing that we were doign something good with all this "recycled, clean burning fuel" and all the while hundreds of thousand of Canolas have been rendered into oil for our sick experiments.

I for one am ashamed of myself and sickened by the thought of literally DRIVING this creature to extinction. I am buying a bike!

I was just trying to have a little laugh, but thanks for the plant pic.

That's it. I'm through. I've been deceived enough over the past few years and now this! I'll be traveling via LPC's from now on. This is why I gave up Mohair sweaters. Poor little Mo's.


Chris: Been sampling the Hornitoes, eh? See you Monday AM.

Then why does the seed get abused, is it a sick way of rendering. What about plants rights! Seeds are human too! :D

Then again, without the capys competition, we can destroy the rainforest and the synergy is gone, thereby releiving guilt.

See my post on the "Vegeatble Rights Militant Movement" and I believe Capibaras live in the swampland and spend most of theier time in water - a fact which lead the catholic church to declare then "Fish" so they could be eaten on Friday! Or so the urban myth goes among wildlife photogs.

When I was down in Costa Rica this winter we met with a "Jungle Ranger" who was very knowledable about the native plants and animals. The Capibaras are in fact considered fish!!! Good luck catching one with a fishing pole though.

I for one am still at a loss for how and WHY you would want t "rape" a seed. :confused: :D

Look, he's a soy-capybara (fish-headed) vegetarian rights activist, sure to wreak havoc on the petroleum exporting nations, and rapists of seeds
