Why is soybean oil not called soybean oil?

[LS20]

just went to randalls to pick up some oil for frying

there were 10 different bottles of "vegetable oil" - 100% vegetable oil, pure vegetable oil, organic vegetable oil, and all this jalopy

i looked at the back of all of them to see the differences. all list a singular ingredient: soybean oil.


SO, why dont they just call it soybean oil? there are no other vegetables involved other than soy.

The same reason the ingredients of hot dogs does not read: lips and assholes.

Lmao, good way of putting it.

Soybeans are fruits, aren't they?

Soy makes you grow man-boobs. It turns you into a girl.

I'm not really grossed out by the idea of soybean oil as opposed to lips and assholes.

They're both fruits and vegetables.

Vegetable Oil usually contains a mix of stuff, I thought.

Everytime i've looked at vegatable oil it says 100% canola oil on the ingredients whatever that is.

canola oil bottles list canola oil as ingredient. likewise for peanut oil and corn oil

only vegetable oil - and ALL vegetable oil - list "soybean oil" exclusively

 

[MobileLoser]

We use corn oil. Corn oil is never labeled as vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil is made with either a singular or mixed oil. Basically it depends on which ever is cheaper on the market at the time. If you will wait a while you will prolly see a change on the label.

I like the full synthetic kind, although the blend will do in a pinch.

I buy the 5 gallon containers of peanut oil at sam's club.

OP clearly doesn't understand organic standards and labelling, including that in his little list
