@Seminole

If you are under the impression that the olive tree is the only plant that provides healthy beneifts (even in cases of drought!) and there aren’t any number of plants/fruits/vegetables that provide the same or better benefits, I’m not going to ruin it for you. Neither am I going to do your homework for you. :google:

No one is saying the olive isn’t wonderful, but I think you’ll be hard pressed convicing doctors and scientists that it should be placed above all other foods. Now talk to a real martini lover and you might have an ally.

You really need to do some whatifs !!!
Whatif I’m not under the impression that the olive tree is the only plant that provides healthy benefits?
Whatif the Qur’an never intended the mention of the Olive in the specific case to reflect primarily on it’s nutritional nature?
Whatif the Qur’an meant it as a symbol?

Have you investigated these? You need to be true to your ‘whatif’ nature. I don’t know … let’s contact the UN and get them to replace their flag with the olive branches on it with a pineapple or a banana! Symbolism counts for a lot!
