Ballbusting Cartoons

So New York is considering banning the use of cooking oil that contains trans-fatty acids (AKA partially hydrogenated oil). Now the whole U.S.A. does not and cannot produce enough corn oil to fill the need.

30 years ago the Canadian Wheat Board realised that Canada was about to lose it's pre-dominant position as a wheat exporter, due to the "Green Revolution" that they themselves had initiated. (China, Russia, and India would soon be self sufficient), and set Scientists to find alternative crops.

Only two other crops could be grown profitably on the Canadian Praires. Mustard and Rapeseed. Within 2 years Canada was producing 95% of the World's supply of Mustard. Rapeseed is an oil-plant, its high smoking point oil made it ideal for industrial lubrication. The oil was also edible, very healthy, but due to the presense of Racinic Acid, it tasted rancid. Industrial removal of this acid made the cooking oil a bit more expensive than corn oil. Production was subsidised by the Canadian Government for a few years, untill, by selective breeding and a bit of Genetic manipulation a low acid content seed was finally produced, cheaper and healthier than corn oil. This Canadian Oil, Low Acid is now our third biggest export to the U.S.A. (after wood and petroleum (by the way, Canada, not Saudi Arabia is USA's biggest energy supplier)).

If the New York Bill passes our exports to USA of Canola oil will increase by an estimated 3 Billion dollars a year. Even if the Americans grow their own Canola, our license fees would amount to almost the same amount.

America no longer has the Know-How or infrastructure to develop an alternative, thanks to the Bush admistration's ********** of the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Agriculture.

I Luv NY

What does this have to do with this forum?. Well I did work in the words "****" and "**********", eh!

Considering how much I contribute, I think that I'm allowed to go off topic once in a while

We negotiated a different arrangement. No passports for Canadians to USA. Something about us threatening to cut off oil if it was implemented. Do you Americans realise just how vulnerable you are now? (Thanks to Bush & Co.)

Eh!

Errr...no disrespect dude, your contributions are cool, but maybe opening a thread on politics should have been the right choice, I mean we are perverts all right, but we can still put things where they belong.

Cheers!!

Too bad there isn't an off-topic board here. I thought it was a good post for another board, and if it had been in the appropriate place, someone might have pointed out that NYC is an olive oil kind of place (no hydrogenation, no refrigeration) and that California grows the olives, so they would make out pretty well in the deal.

Now, back to toons - we need more of those for sure.

Hm I can't seem to get teh links to work work. It keeps saying that i do not have sufficient priviledges.

Or even French-Fries. Yech!. Olive oil has too low a smoking point for deep frying! (Eh!)

Now for a 'toon, eh!
