I can't believe it's not olive oil

A commercial came on a few days ago that was very confusing.

You probably have heard of the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter butteresque products. Apparently they’re jumping on the Mediterranean Diet bandwagon with a new line:

Olive oil is a key part of the Mediterranean Diet. Now you can enjoy I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Mediterranean Blend, made with olive oil, for the same delicious butter taste you’ll feel great about eating. It’s an excellent source of Omega 3 ALA, is naturally cholesterol free, and contains 70% less saturated fat than butter.

They also have a “Light” version.

Now, I have no idea how particularly healthy these products are, but at what point do you think it’s a good idea to just, you know, use actual olive oil instead of fake butter?

On a related topic my new favorite way to have a baked potato is drizzling it with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then a dash or two of garlic and basil, salt and pepper. Some red pepper flakes for bite. Good Lord, that’s good stuff.
