Vegetable oils are also known as seed oils. They’re also misleadingly referred to in Kenya as "mafuta ya salad". This post is about factory-made cooking oils.

2. In the 1950s, paint was made from soy, safflower, sunflower and flax seed oil. Chemists discovered they could make paint from petroleum, which was much cheaper.
There were huge numbers of farmers who grew these crops. Suddenly, they realized they could not sell.

3. Around the same time, farmers were experimenting with certain poisons to make their pigs get fatter, but with less food. It was discovered that corn and soy beans could achieve this. Legally.
So industrial seed oil previously used for paint were repurposed for animal food.

5. To assuage consumers’ concerns that the oils were fattening, manufacturers began to label their seed oils with "No Cholesterol" tags as a marketing gimmick to hoodwink the market.
