“Back in the day, an oil called rapeseed oil was often used for industrial purposes. It was cheap to produce, but people couldn’t eat it because it contained some unfavorable substances. A bunch of Canadian scientists wanted to turn rapeseed oil into an edible oil, so they used selective breeding techniques to ‘create’ seeds that contained less of these harmful, bitter substances. This is how canola was born… but ‘Canola’ is a marketing term. It stands for Canadian Oil (some believe it stands for Canada Oil, Low Acid). Today, about 90% of the world’s canola crop is genetically modified. This short video shows how canola oil is made. I recommend you watch it.”
