"well I have read the actual book, not just what people say about it. Recommend you do the same. It has not been "debunked" as you claim, and it is not "nonsense""

No, thanks. I know what's being advocated, and I'm not interested in reading a vegetarian fanatic's attempt to sell his lifestyle.

"LOL??? Well, let's see. Olive oil is 100% fat. 100%!! Pure FAT. How is that a health food exactly??"

See, this is what I mean, southern rock. You've been misled into thinking that fat = bad, which is absolutely wrong. Our bodies NEED fat to absorb vitamins, to produce hormones, for brain function, energy, and healthy cells, skin, and hair.

Olive oil is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, omega fatty acids, and it has properties that are beneficial for your heart and your blood pressure. Even the Mayo Clinic agrees that olive oil is good for your health.

Well said, Catherine. Thank you.

Propaganda about food has misled so many of us. It’s sad, really.
