Olive oil has been adored by people for millennia. It’s like the perfect food, it’s healthy and delicious. But there is also a darker side to it, a side that involves widespread corruption and Italian Mafia bosses.
I just got reminded of Johnny Harris and god I hate that man and his shitty “journalism” so bad.
Literally the worst. I saw him use every tactic shady TikTok food influencers use to fear monger BREAD of all things and I haven’t touched crap from him ever since
Idk why people keep watching smth so obv riddled with white propaganda

It's a story about how that process, that trade-off, can have deadly consequences.
