Olive oil is one of the main staples of my diet. If I fry something (I don't deep fry), I use a paper towel to smear a thin layer of oil on the pan. I use Olive Oil on my pasta with fresh basil and tomatoes. I'm even learning how to make my own salad dressing. The organic condiments are just too expensive for me, they don't necessarily taste how I want them to, and the regular "Walmart" variety salad dressings mostly have high fructose corn syrup. I'm gonna start making my own mayonnaise, too. I hear it's easy.

I truly believe that by targeting fats, Americans are targeting the wrong element in their diet. Fat is a scapegoat. Same with carbs. It's the rest of the crap that's causing problems.
