The great olive oil scam: How your expensive extra virgin dressing could actually be a cheap imitation | Mail Online

"It is hard to imagine Italian mob bosses discussing the next shipment of olive oil"

Hard to imagine, say what? It's not just easy to imagine. It is a cliche.

    I'm not surprised. Just one more thing to add to the list of food lies. Gee why are people sick?

    The problem, he explained, is that in the USA, the FDA have better things to do than check the contents of the bottles and the labels guaranteeing them.
    WTF - the problem is that the FDA doesn't have time to do their job? Or is it just one more case of the FDA being paid not to do their job?

    Right now there is a battle raging over labeling. The gov and FDA is saying that it's okay for companies not to include the fact that a food has GMO ingredients in it on labels - and millions are telling them that we think they do need to. Yet the FDA doesn't have time to check a product to make sure it's being labeled honestly. Just WTF.

    Maybe they are just waiting for people's heads to quit reeling from finding out what the honey from grocers shelves they've been eating is really all about.

    I'm just disgusted with humans and their corporate greed. Completely disgusted.

      And it's my favorite vegetable. Plus, it's the only vegetable with pepperoni.

        You make a good point. And while we're on the subject...
        'Egg-plant' - what is that...?
        Is it an Egg? Or is it a plant? Can it be both?

    I remember once when I was young and dumb and recently married my wife sent me to the store and asked me to pick up olive oil. "Extra virgin", she said.

    I thought she wanted me to get two bottles.
