Oil, engines, and electronics are three major imports of the U.S.
no...it comes from the rapeseed plant. Canola stands for Canadian oil, most rapeseed plants are grown in Canada (and the word canola is a much less offensive term than rapeseed). Canola oil is called LEAR oil in Canada(Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed oil), erucic acid is a known carcinogen, Canola is a combination of CANada and mazOLA, Mazola (corn oil) was it's main competitor in the US when it was introduced to US markets.
Absolutely not. The US is dependent on foreign oil imports.
the three major imports are cars, oil, and food
No, canola oil comes from rapeseeds. According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals". Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent. Ask for it at your nursery. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines.US and Canadian farmers grow genetically engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings of Canadian and US government watchdog agencies. The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead.
oil, cars, food
The US imports the majority of it's oil from Fiji.
