"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it". H.L. Mencken
I use Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive oil from Italy, Spain, Portugal or even Tunisia on baked potatoes.
And in cooking. Thanks to Costco or Trader Joe's.

Indeed arbitrary. Dr. Andrew Weil suggested dark chocolate is good for you.

If you love chocolate, you’re no doubt delighted by emerging research on its health benefits. But be aware - the good news isn’t a license to overindulge.

Apologies if I misunderstood you because this is the nice place compared to the X place, but you said that once you use olive oil on potato chips or french fries, somehow it's all ruined

How about the Mediterranean Diet with extensive use of olive oil on one's baked potato?

Decades ago I discovered in Europe, olive oil potato chips.

So heating olive oil ruins it?

How about potatoes cooked in otherwise healthy olive oil. Or avocado oil?

Is it dangerous to issue the measles vaccine before the age of one? Pediatrician tells a family member her 4 month old is too young for it. He's in daycare in Macungie so the parents can work.

Know a lady who needed foot surgery. On Medicare Advantage.

Surgeon said 5 weeks in-hospital recovery. I heard him. Insurance sent her home to live alone at 3 weeks. Problems insued.

Eventually lower leg amputation.

Perhaps the surgeon's 5 weeks would have made a difference?
