Study finds 82 percent of avocado oil rancid or mixed with other oils:
Consumer demand is rising for all things avocado, including oil made from the fruit. Avocado oil is a great source of vitamins, minerals and the type of fats associated with reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. But according to new research from food science experts at the University of California, Davis, the vast majority of avocado oil sold in the U.S. is of poor quality, mislabeled or adulterated with other oils.
In the country's first extensive study of commercial avocado oil quality and purity, UC Davis researchers report that at least 82 percent of test samples were either stale before expiration date or mixed with other oils. In three cases, bottles labeled as "pure" or "extra virgin" avocado oil contained near 100 percent soybean oil, an oil commonly used in processed foods that's much less expensive to produce.

Why put avocado oil in the bottle when you can use soybean oil instead and pocket the extra profit?

Actually, it was she who did the (incompetent -- you didn't train her very well) sucking, and the term is Ephebophile [wikipedia.org], not pedo.
Regardless, I'm still not going to any more of your parties.
