got Rosemary form my local pharmacy, fairway also has it at 5$ per ounce =30ml in the aromatherapy and vitamin section. CVS, Rite aid, waldbaums, stop and shop do not have it. Mixed it as such... 500ml=1/2 quart=2cups water 15 ml=1/2 oz rosemary oil, 2 ml dawn dish soap to emulsify sprayed it all over.. and hereby I see one of the new plants I just brought in from someones backyard to my hydroponics system is the source.. as I am spraying I see the little things on it going crazy running around. I almost used all the 16oz I made in one shot I washed out every thing in my system with it I will do a light spray in 2 days and another heavy wash in 7 days again, I even put 2 drops of the oil in my hydroponics water system.. I am optimistic about it for now

I like coconut oil to moisturize lips, skin, hair, stir fry veggies, make curries, and husband uses it to pop popcorn. From what I've read, the problematic fats are the ones which are partially hydrogenated (trans fats) and, according to medical research, cause all kinds of health issues. They were widely used in prepared foods, but the FDA banned them a few years ago and many companies have replaced them with other oils.

You can buy peanut oil in quarts at the grocery stores. Do not ever use olive oil at high temps or you will get smoking. You can adjust the smoke point of olive oil by adding a bit of other oil though but not enough for deep frying. Grapeseed oil is a nice oil for high temps and it does not impart a heavy flavor. Also coconaut oil wich is solid at room temp and is more often found sold along side the popcorn at the stores than the in the oil section.

As many have said, food grade mineral oil. I have several rock maple cutting boards. I never soak them or do more than damp cloth wipe them. I seldom oil them. I have a very large sugar maple board that I use as a pastry board. I never oil it. I bench scrape it and damp wipe it. I mostly use my wooden cutting boards for prepping, chopping, slicing vegetables. I wipe it with a damp cloth and never allow freshly washed vegetables to soak it. Drain the veggies first, or wash after prepping. There is a property to wood (that's not gummed up with a lot of oil or wax) to dry out and inhibit bacteria. I used poly - plastic chopping boards for meat, chicken or fish. Then I wash well, especially after putting notoriously bacteria-laden chicken on them. HOT WATER, some bleach, scrub, rinse or dishwasher. If you do use oil, only a light coat. Remove excess. Also, despite any marketing hype, understand that you will not be "feeding" the wood. The wood is not alive. Not gonna be hungry or feed on anything. I love the sound of a knife or utensil on wood. Oh, and with a lot of knife work, you don't have to slice through and go into the wood. Slicing bread? Just go easy at the bottom of the slice, lift the bread up just a bit. Have fun.
