please allow me to illustratte the steps: you buy food. the people who buy food, pay people to bring the food from the farm to the store. the people who transport the food pay for diesel. in the rare event the transportation is electric, the farm buys fertilizer that is either a fossil fuel product or transported with fossil fuels.
unless you grow your own food, all of it, your money is paying for oil once you get one or two transactions away from you. and this goes for pretty much every product out there, unfortunately.
You forgot to mention that even in the cases of electric, the electricity is mostly generated by by burning non-renewables, including coal.
true for most places but it didn't want to make that assumption. we get to paying for fossil fuels pretty easy just ignoring that.
