vege oils in 1900s

Quote from BMJ OpenHeart Study on Omega-6 vegetable oils source:

The intake of omega-6 vegetable oils, particularly soybean oil, began to increase in the USA starting in the early 1900s at a time when the consumption of butter and lard was on the decline.

Was this a result of access to cheap seed oils as a result of the industrial revolution?
