<pre>As a consumer (and a home cook) in the United States, I see that few people here
are aware of the differences in olive oil. Most women here do not even use olive
oil. Most women cook with vegetable or corn oils only - they will even use them
for salad dressing. If you look at any of the "women's magazines" or cook books
you will find few recipes that use olive oil in any form. Olive oil is
considered
a gourmet food item. After people have become accustom to the flavor of the
vegetable oils they do not like the strong flavor of olive oil.
