Many people have learned that seed oils (soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, etc.) are not good for you. For better health, olive oil and avocado oil are preferred.
So companies have started making products with only olive oil and avocado oil. Even though these products are much more expensive, people are buying them for the promise of no seed oils.
The problem? The companies are not honest. They attach labels to these products claiming 100% avocado oil, or 100% olive oil, but it just isn't true.
The University of California at Davis published a study about a month ago in which they tested a number of food products for authenticity and label accuracy.
You can also get a PDF version of this study at the above site.
Here is an executive summary: https://UCDavis.App.Box.com/s/6ogs4l0ogplunooktwryr5b1m6k2xr9u/file/2347698985551
In this summary, a checkmark in the far right column is good. The lack of a checkmark is bad, indicating false labeling.
You get what you deserve if you're buying commercially processed foods.
Take a little swig of the olive oil --- the good stuff should burn your throat and make you cough.
So does motor oil...
smells different
Making your own mayo is a pain in the ass.
Where do you get your mayo from?
I don't use mayo. It's disgusting.

But this is easier than you think.
I've made it using a very similar recipe.
When you only use a couple tablespoons each week, it's not worth it to make it yourself when it spoils in 2 weeks in the fridge and you can't freeze it.
Do you press your own olives‽ that would be crazy cool
I have 3 trees growing --- not producing yet.
That's awesome dude! Good on'ya
I'm in Texas --- we go from 15°F to 115°F
Hard to find plants for this range.
I'm growing Arbequina olives
I give them shade in the late hot afternoons.
That would be fun, but I actually trust the label on a can of olive oil.
Lay's? Not so much.
I think I distrust almost everything these days.
That's smart. It would be foolish to trust anything about the experience we just had with the Covid Plandemic. They lied about everything, no exception.
Only buy Olive oil in a GLASS container, not a "can".
( Same with Avocado, or Coconut oil = different purpose)
Can is a generic term in this case.
Also, make sure it's a green or amber glass, not clear as UV light will make it go rancid faster.
