- kurthr 3y agoAre you saying that most light olive oil isn't olive oil? I guess it's possible, but there's profit without doing that too. All the research I've heard (eg 80% fake) is for EVOO.

That's gonna kill somebody! * https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/judge-in-subway-case-admonishes-embarrassed-fake-tuna-lawyer https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/judge-in-subway-cas...
