Fake olive oil on store shelves

http://www.naturalnews.com/035124_olive_oil_adulterated_canola.html



As someone who tries to spread the word about eating right and reading ingredient labels, I find this highly troubling. There have been many similar cloakings of ingredients in the past, such as the legality of labeling an item "trans fat free" if it contains less than half a gram per serving (which is still bad for you). But... but... companies like Newman's Own and Whole Foods are selling fake olive oil? What the hell is going on in the food industry?? This disturbs me on an entirely new level.

This is a very good time to note that canola oil is not good for you. That's the stuff of a future post, but Natural News probably covers it extensively if you want to see for yourself.
