EVOO is overrated, even in the Mediterranean where it's considered a 2nd tier oil only to be used on salads. For cooking, use coconut/MCT oil or tallow (depending on flavour). Macadamia oil is good where EVOO would normally be used, for example I use it for making mayo. Seed oils should normally be avoided but macadamias are the one big exception.
Generally speaking though it's preferable to not take animal products to high temps since it oxidises the cholesterols in them and probably other stuff too. Slow cooking and smoking are preferable in terms of health.
Cheese is perfectly fine in moderation, as long as you can digest dairy. Be careful that you don't have a low level chronic intolerance to it though.

If you're concerned about such things, watch out for smoking foods. Smoke produces carcinogenic compounds. I'm not worried in moderation, but I would not at all say that smoking is "healthy."
Thanks to a lot of cooking shorts I get, I'm getting more into cooking using butter even water to fry and moving more towards olive oil where I can.
Cheese isn't bad so long as like everything, you apply moderation. Something the left is incapable of doing.

Yeah but you're not breathing in the smoke, which is what's harmful.
