According to news sources, One-third of Italians have reduced their consumption of extra virgin olive oil, a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet, due to skyrocketing prices, according to a survey released Friday.
Italian Olive Oil producers are pushing back against the data, saying the snapshot of consumer sentiment does not give a full picture — and that sales of higher-quality Italian extra virgin olive oil are actually up.
The survey of 500 Italian adults had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
The reported drop in consumption is much less of a hit than in other olive oil-producing Mediterranean Sea countries, as two years of drought has drastically cut production in Spain, the world’s largest olive oil producer, and pushed up global prices.
Greece and Spain have both seen olive oil sales plummet by one-third over the last year, according to industry estimates.

More than one news source is reporting that black market fake green cards and social security identification are being openly hawked to illegal migrants on the streets of New York City. Criminals linked to MS-13 and other gangs have been spotted selling the fabricated documents this week in Queens,
Once people have these fake cards, they can work, they can travel, they can access a lot of aspects and services in the United States. There are people getting these cards that are not here just to get a job, that they have other intentions, and this helps them carry out criminal activity.

With St' Paddy's Day so close, it gets me to thinking about her. She may easily be the most beautiful Irish lassie of all times (in my eyes anyway), but I bet she was a handful. As a matter of fact, I'm fairly confident was was two hands-ful. She was fairly well endowed, as my Dad usta say...

After the second bomb was dropped on Japan & they did surrender they still had to put down revolt by the forces who wanted to fight to the last soul.
ReplyDeleteThe info about worst drivers comes from the QuoteWizard for LendingTree Insurance, so not a true representation of drivers across the USA.
ReplyDeleteRe the vehicle brands with worst drivers, notice that the three brands at the bottom were discontinued around 2010-2011, which should result in an ever decreasing number of them on the road. Would like to see current stats on Henry J and Delorean.
ReplyDeleteHey, now! Don't forget the ever lovely Kathy Ireland!
ReplyDeleteBut I do agree Maureen O'Hara was a step above the rest.

Using the drivers chart and since I own a Ram and a Jeep, I should be going weekly to the body shop. Driving 46 years, 1 accident.
ReplyDeleteAudi and Mercedes drivers tend to be above 30 years old with an above average income with more female drivers which is one of the safest driver demographic groups. My wife drives an Audi. At 63 she has never had an accident and has had 2 speeding tickets in all the years she has been driving.
