There is no single formula for oil. Vegetable oil consists of mainly of lipids that are composed of glycerol+3fatty acids. The Fatty acid composition varies. 78% of the fatty acids in olive oil are oleic acid C18H34O2.
Therefore a large fraction of the lipids consists of
C57H107O6.
This must be the most inconvenient form of describing a fat.

There isn't one for either. Vegetable oil molecules are glycerol joined to three fatty acid molecules, which are of various lengths according to the type of oil. Mineral oil is a mixture of compounds of the empirical formula CnH2n+1.

There are many healthy fruits and vegetables. Fresh vegetables like broccoli and kale contain calcium and are packed with fiber.
