    'Real Food/Fake Food'

    The cops busted another Italian crime ring this week for exporting cheap olive pomace oil to the US and reselling it as extra-virgin olive oil. Journalist Larry Olmsted says you might not notice the difference unless you've tasted the real thing. “And then you have it, your eyes light up. It's like an epiphany and you're never fooled again.”

    The cops busted another Italian crime ring this week for exporting cheap olive pomace oil to the US and reselling it as extra-virgin olive oil. Journalist Larry Olmsted says you might not notice the difference unless you've tasted the real thing. “And then you have it, your eyes light up. It's like an epiphany and you're never fooled again.” In his new book, Real Food/Fake Food: Why You Don't Know What You're Eating & What You Can Do about It, Olmsted breaks it all down.
