    My wife is a healthy weight, she absolutely loves olives.

    However whilst I don't mind them, I have to be in the mood for them if you know what I mean.

    Fresh kalamata olives with fresh bread and a little olive oil and garlic are pretty awesome

    Olives are one of the healthiest things you can eat. I consider them a superfood like spinach, wheatgrass, kale

    Ah, okay! I was the only olive lover (OLIVE FANATIC) at a table of olive-haters the other day; I felt like I was crazy (one of them was Italian, and she hates olives! Sacrilege!).

    I could write a love song for olives.

    YAY!! I thought olives were a guilty pleasure! This makes me really glad. Even at my unhealthiest eating, I always loved olives.

    Used to hate olives. Now I am starting to like them and can eat them. Not sure what that means. Am I getting fatter or skinnier!?

    I'm underweight and love olives, so I don't think there's a correlation.

    I think it's an acquired taste. I didn't like olives, until my fiance brought home kalamatas several times - and despite "not liking them", I tried one every time, until I loved them. Now I buy them myself. :)

    Maybe skinny people are less likely to keep eating something they don't like. :)

    I absolutely love black olives - except for the Greek olives...they are a bit salty for my taste. I hate green olives, yuck!

    Italian baby!!

    LOVE olives. Could eat them all day every day. Any kind :D

    ^^this^^

    I've recently discovered giant green olives stuffed with garlic or jalapenos in my grocery store... they taste much better than they sound.

    I like green olives but not black ones. My parents always joke that I must be adopted or switched at the hospital because everyone in my family loves black/Kalamata olives (Greek and Italian heritage..it's practically mandatory).

    It definitely has nothing to do with being skinny or fat; Lots of people swear by a "Mediterranean diet," which incorporates a lot of olives and olive oil, just in smaller overall food portions.

    Love them all and always have....black olives on our fingers during holiday dinners was a tradition with my cousins. :-)
    I have 3 kids and all like black and only one likes green and my husband hates them.

    Love olives, and my skinny hubby hates them. I don't know if that was a correlation.

    I had not bought any in a while, and was appalled by how much fat there is in them. They put me over my fat limit a few days ago.

    There's a theory about olives on How I Met Your Mother. Olive lovers and olive haters make optimal couples according to the show. :)
