I’m confused. Why is the strange, angry man lying about the historical use of olive oil? Is he a traveling butter salesman?

Like.. bald-facedly, yes. Olive oil was so important to the Roman economy *for cooking* that they created the “annona” system to essentially bribe the inhabitants of Rome proper with lifetime free olive oil in order to prevent rebellion and allow Rome to artificially grow.
