#3 Vegetable oil counts as a "chemical"?

Per Mr. Wife, the (among other things) chemical engineer: Everything is a chemical. Like so many other things, vegetable oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, ranging C8 to C22, with varying degrees of unsaturation (or saturation, depending on one's perspective -- tw).

Addition from tw: As a liquid, vegetable oil is yet another chemical mixture transported in tanker ships by sea and tanker trucks on land. It's made into cookies, used to fry potato chips, or bottled for the grocery store, but there's no point in bottling upfront for the first two and all the other commercial uses, which is where most of it goes.
