Yes Canola oil is really bad, we don't use it either.

The reason farmers are loosing their land is the financial burden of trying to fight a giant.

Saving seed, especial heirloom seed is what they have done for generations. You're suggesting it's ok for them to be forced to buy seed to avoid litigation?
