So you've defined the Spanish Mediterranean diet.  What about the 
French, Italian, Croatian, Albanian, Greek and Turkish, etc. versions? 
And how is it that there is *no doubt* which is healthier?  Can you 
remove all doubt about removing the confounding variables that plague 
all dietary research?

ps:  I happen to agree that whatever a Mediterranean diet is it's 
*likely* more healthy than a full English breakfast.  On the other hand 
I'm very far from agreeing that there's *no doubt* about it.
