Oil Is Oil, Be It Burned Or Eaten

This article is basically about how the food industry can also contribute to pollution. Edible oils can spill and create nasty oil slicks on top of water just like crude oil can. It can kill wildlife and create fire hazards. It gives lots of examples about how the food industry may have to start regulating safety measures on their oils, like butter and Canola oil.

I never actually thought about edible oil as being the same as crude oil. It makes sense that it would cause the same amount of damage that regular crude oil does. Great article.
