Extra-virgin olive oil. It should mean pure, unadulterated, and good-for-you, right? According to Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, a new book by Tom Mueller, that bottle of "extra-virgin" olive oil in your pantry may actually be fraudulent.

As olive oil is a premium product, some producers want to undercut the market by putting low-priced, bad quality oils on the shelves. "Fifty percent of the olive oil sold in the United States is, in some ways, adulterated," Mueller told NPR's Fresh Air. That means consumers who purchase these imposters are missing out on the health benefits that authentic oil offers.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
