I don't understand what you mean by this? Do you really believe that a large oil producer would risk their business & reputation by mixing other oil with their EVO?

I'm confused as to how bottled water is put as healthy, the leaching off of the bottle alone is a concern that shouldn't be taken lightly forget the rest of the potential problems.

Also tuna has more mercury content than most other fish; mercury being a problem with all fish to be fair. Secondary food sources build up more problems with any contaminant than a primary food source.

I could go on with other items listed but those are certainly a palm to the head moment.

It has been more than proven over time that a plant based whole foods diet is more beneficial to humans than other way of eating.

No I'm not 100% whole foods only so I'm not trying to say anyone else should do so either. However I do try to limit the processed foods that I eat.

Happily eating a homemade sweet potato and spinach dhal (using yellow split peas) with home made vegan raita.

Sounds lovely, if you were in my near-vicinity I'd be asking you to cook for me regularly!

I do actually make raita, on account of the fact that (I) no cooking is required, and (ii) it doesn't smell in the production process.
