Before the lightbulb, electricity & natural gas lines into homes & businesses, olive, rapeseed, linseed, whale etc. oils were all used mostly for non-eating. The industrial oil industry promoted consumption to grow their business. Flaxseeds & flaxseed oil still smell like paint thinner to me and give me hives, so no amount of cleansing has made them edible for me.
