No. This one's going to take some explaining. In days past, when there were a lot of whales in the ocean, brave men set to sea in ships to hunt the Sperm Whale.

It's better for the environment and also for the people harvesting it: no one has ever been drowned by a mad jojoba plant with a harpoon in its side. Whales are a different story.
