Olive oil is actually bad for you?

I was always under the assumption that olive oil was good for you. Well if you listen to this guy he says that it's actually pretty awful. He's a vegan so maybe his view on olive oil is a bit extreme?
Anyway, I'm Italian so I'm not going to give up my olive oil any time soon.

He's being intentionally deceptive to push an agenda. He NEVER made a comparison between olive oil and other oils. He's comparing olive oil to "no oil". Well, hello Captain Obvious! I can't believe someone paid him for this speech. I've never heard anyone in the field of nutrition say, "consume lots of olive oil. It's good for you". I have heard them say, "compared to other oils, olive oil is better because it's lower in saturated fats than other oils".
So, this is a FACT... If you need to use oil, olive oil is better than other oils. Period.
