Olive Oyle was even better than Popeye's Spinach, lol!

Now let's be realistic, no one can do everything that is suggested and it is really hard when you work a full time job and have a family to cook for as well. Times are tough and stress levels are higher and we get less sleep these days. We need to take it one day at a time and adjust slowly and not rapidly like I did and make myself more sick.

Mostly good info. But, is it really the olive oil that is causing the benefit to the mediteranian diet, or the fact that it's low in animal fat and high in whole grains and vegetables? Why do people insist on promoting olive oil as though it is health food???
