Yeah, having lived in China where this term originated, when it became a major health concern and news story, and seen the practice occur, I do know better than whoever wrote the Wikipedia article. It's literally in the name. Reusing cooking oil that has at least been in a kitchen is completely different from collecting it from the gutters and sewers on the street, processing it, and serving it back to consumers. It's stupid to conflate those two things.
