Re: The positive aspects to Brassica napus?

Are there positive sides to Brassica napus and are they getting enough attention?

After all, Brassica napus (also known as oilseed ) can contain chemicals like omega-3 fatty acid to help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It's an important source of vegetable oil & can be cold-pressed to an extra virgin variety; or even used in pest control! It's also used to make bio-diesel. Fossil fuels won't last forever and our increasing reliance upon them threatens the planet we shall pass to our children and our children's children.

Yet despite this over and over again we are told that Brassica napus is bad; particularly by certain groups.
I try to mention there are good sides but then people threaten to have their brothers burn down my apartment and try to put glass in my food. I hesitate to say write your representative again but I think education is so important.
