Why does it say that olive oil ?!

The Food Pyramid is horribly skewed and incorrect when it comes to what our bodies were designed to eat. Olives are a healthy source of fat and so is exrta virgin olive oil. About 30 - 45% of your diet should be healthy fats. This is not based on the incorrect medical recommendations but by research into what our genes are nutritionally designed to need in order to express health.

Because many people who use it as a guideline are too stupid and/or lazy to differentiate between different types of fats and oils, or believe anything that is told to them without bothering to find out the facts. I have an aunt who was drinking a pint of olive oil a day because she heard it was good for you. Seriously.

Because it's still a fat. Just a healthier choice.

that is a general statement
