A Neutral Fat
a: Olive oil ~
b: the Switzerland of fats
What: "Olive oil is like the Switzerland of fats, because its impact on omega-3s is neutral. When you use olive oil as the primary fat in your diet, it helps to displace omega-6 fats. Olive oil is a well-established staple in the Mediterranean diet and a favorite among chefs for its culinary properties." This is a good explanation of how there are good fats and not so good fats.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
