While I have covered the direct uses of oil in my diet, it is important to note that oil plays a secondary role in my diet as well. These are some of the factors that I forgot to mention but are worth giving a thought.
Other uses:
- Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
- Lubricants (motor oil)
- Synthetic rubber
- Petrochemicals in flavoring, coloring, and preservatives.
- Plastic bags
- Styrofoam
- Trash bags
- Gas stove
- Asphalt and bitumen (roads)
