No precise idea ;- )
Perhaps because of the cartoon character 'Popeye the Sailor Man', who consumes copious amounts of spinach to help strengthen him, enabling him to protect his love interest 'Olive Oyl' against 'Bruno' the bad Captain.
(Hence spinach with a serving suggestion of olive oil)
It is possible that Popeye had an olive oil tattoo on his arm, and maybe other sailors sport it as a tribute to the infamous cartoon character.

How do you substitute Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Vegetable oil?

Olive oil has a very distinctive taste. Depending on what kind of recipe you are making would depend on if it would be appropriate to use it. I would say definatly not if you are making any kind of dessert. You would be better off using canola oil. It does not have the distinctive taste. If you are using it in a salad dressing, say, you could probably get away with using the olive oil.
