Film Transcript / Subtitles

My wife used to buy Mazzola corn oil for frying and salads. The same Mazzola her mother used, a good all-purpose cooking oil. But today we live differently, and eat differently. We get regular exercise, eat wholesome, sensible foods, and feel a lot better for it. So now my wife buys a cooking oil that's in keeping with the way we live and eat. That's right. Mazzola. Because Mazzola's 100% corn oil, and today 100% corn oil makes a lot of sense.
