No worries, Kid.  This is the place to be for learning :)

Scroll down this link until you see our unsupported ingredient list.  There you'll find the "why" behind why oil is a "don't" here, as you say.  You'll see several videos that explain our reasoning quite well.

Somebody just recently posted an oil-free pesto recipe here.  Anybody remember where?

I make a few nice raw pestos that don't use olive oil :)

I have a video/recipe here: http://terileventhalsblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/overt-fat-free-raw-v...

Also, you could try blending up 2 zucchinis, a few leaves of fresh basil, lemon, and spinach (simply add 2 zucchinis to the sauce I made in my video). I really like this one, it tastes great with cucumber noodles! These are low-cal recipes, so please be careful to make sure you are still getting enough calories in if you eat them <3 - you are probably going to need a lot more bananas! :)

Here is a video I watched a while ago that does a good job explaining why olive oil is actually junk food: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBKauKVi4M&feature=player_embedded
