The 'Mediterranean' diet

I hope so , I love a nice Kebab ...

Three main choices I think: low carb hi fat, low fat high carb and Mediterranean.

Is the Mediterranean diet not the one predominately eaten in Italy, Spain and France?

Olives, nuts, fish, healthy oils?

Yes..it is why they normally live to a very old age.

All depends on the part of the country you live in

Stuffed OLIVES
are the best!!!

Olives? What's the attraction? I love fruits but olives are so salty.

Katie Price simply adores them

Who's she?

Vincents granddaughter; think she was in The Tît & the Pendulum

On the subject of olives they tend to leave the stone in its supposed to taste better however its murder on the teeth

Yes, it is, but it's also the weather. Hi-carb low fat and vice versa are fad diets which haven't stood the test of time and I doubt many old people take any notice of them. Greece also has the Mediterranean diet.

How is a Med diet compare to a S Korean/Japanese diet eg veg/little meat/organic fish/steamed not fried? Is Med healthier? Is there such a thing as a healthy oil? Olive oil is still oil, and consumed in quantity is unhealthy too (surely); oil is oil similarly, sugar is sugar regardless if it's sugar from fruits or fruit juices or chocs.

In Greece and Italy some people drink a glass of olive oil and swear by it

Elsewhere a glass (or teaspoon) of Cod Liver Oil, and even a bottle of vodka eg Russia and Poland a day.

You can't beat a good lamprey amd chips

All true, but vitamin D from the sun and thus a more uplifting carefree attitude has to be a big factor.
