Whole food just means “unprocessed”. For example, rather than eating olive oil, which is an extract of olives, I eat olives. Rather than eating peanut butter which has all sorts of additives, I eat ground (aka buttered) peanuts. I sweeten with date syrup (blended dates and water). Etc.
Last time I was in the US, I couldn’t find any olive oil. Every bottle said “olive oil” and in microscopic characters underneath “among many other oils”. This would be insanely illegal on the other side of the Atlantic.
Just a few minutes ago I was in my local store. Of the three kinds for sale not one of them said anything about other oils besides olive oil in it or anything to imply it wasn’t pure. Made a point to check based on your comment.

I can see you’re from the US.
Here when you get olive oil, it’s olive oil. When you get peanut butter, it’s crunched up peanuts (maybe with a bit of salt).
Having bought foodstuffs in your country, I kind of understand how people get fed up with the whole thing.
The olive oil I buy is 100%. I have never even heard of an olive oil that is sold cut. And every single time I bought it was in the US.

Yeah strong doubt on this. I want to see labels from the trip. Use olive oil all the time and would know.
Well, that was in Hoboken. Maybe they’re exempt from the global US olive oil market.

You have a good store, you’re lucky. That’s not my experience.
Yeah luck. Consistent luck repeatedly for multiple years. Makes perfect freaken sense.
Sorry your trip was ruined by a totally real and not fabricated bottle of olive oil that you found somehow someway.
