Many of us on platforms like this are introverts, or autistic, or have social anxiety, or for whatever reason, have trouble meeting new people or engaging with strangers. If someone wanted to engage you in conversation, what topic would you be happiest to talk about?
Olive oil.
I just read Extra Virginity and it turns out there is a whole world of food oil counterfeiting and I really need help stopping it, because suddenly this is the topic I am 3rd most passionate about.
Food counterfeiting is huge. I’m convinced the only way to get Modena balsamic is to go to Modena.
Hi I’m deeply interested in this and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. How the hell do you counterfeit olive oli?!?
the same way you counterfeit anything. you make a fake shitty version of it and pass it off as the real thing and people buy it and you make a lot of money.
You put a cheaper oil in a refinery, then flavor it with artificial flavors, then use the Mafia to launder it into another country.
