    Yeah I just brought it up because im not sure if like everyone removed makeup with baby oil would it put strain somewhere and I know most food stuff thats not meat or grain is sorta a drop in the bucket compared to grain so thought maybe it would not really be enough. I mean one reason plastics got going was to use the waste elements from oil when making gasoline and such which is why its so cheap and of course we likely still want to recycle the plastics we have already made unless we can figure out a way to otherwise safely take it out of the system.

      Nah I think we are on the same page friend, this stuff is all complicated, but baby oil is something that’s been in use for decades. My mom used it and I’m almost 40. I don’t think we are going to run out. More likely it also causes cancer.

      But yeah, if we can use renewables instead of plastic for things like exfoliants or growth mediums or fabrics or whatever… everyone wins.
