The wife rejected vegetarian leanings and started eating a diet high in beef. Her cholesterol levels dropped 35 points in 6 mos.

I was a vegetarian for about three years maybe a dozen years ago and had to give it up. My cholesterol quickly dropped about as much as your wife's, but never went back up after I started eating meat again.

The problem I had with the vegetarian diet, which I started for health, ethical, and environmental reasons, was that I quickly started overeating compulsively and gained a lot of weight. Only after I went back to eating meat was I able to eat normally again. It seems that no matter how much vegetable matter I consume, I'm somehow just not satisfied. If I eat meat whenever I get a craving, which isn't every day, I'm fine.

Eating meat may not be particularly healthy but obesity is even less so.

BTW, I had an angiogram last summer and the doctor told me I had the arteries of a "young teenager."

People aren't all the same.
