That oil is more commonly called canola, by the way. Canadian Oil, Low Acid. Used for the same reason the motto was changed.
No Canola is different then rapeseed. I mean it’s a modified version of it.
How is Canola different than Rapeseed when it just comes from a different variety of Rapeseed? It’s like saying grape juice isn’t grape juice just because it came from a white grape instead of a concord grape.
Having to promote it as “rape oil” would be a marketing department’s nightmare.
I think you’d sometimes see it as “rapeseed oil” - still not great, but better.
