That's a fair point, although I would argue that if good quality olive oil is very cheap, then perhaps it's the other way round. Only the very poorest are forced to consume non extra virgin olive oil.

Also, I'm not sure about Spain but farmers generally have noticeably higher life expectancy than the average.

It does, but at some point a bigger study will come along that accounts for more factors, and that will find there's no effect.
It's almost as if human nutrition and mortality are complex systems and a single foodstuff doesn't have any significant effect.

Not only that but surely nobody is surprised that the people who can afford the more expensive version of a product live longer.

Why have we not given up on this nonsense idea of miracle foods already?

> There is zero evidence that Russia plans or wants to invade a NATO member.

Apart from Putin and his defence staff's public statements to the contrary? We practically have a Mein kampf equivalent of Putin's ambitions.

Isolationism is cowardly and dishonourable and the West's responses to Putin have allowed and encouraged him to escalate time and time again. It completely naïve to think he is done escalating.

This is total bullshit. Relatively benign ruling but sets a dangerous precedent.
