You will die from something, I can guarantee you that. Comgratualtions on your wife. It's nice her cholesterol dropped- did her good cholesterol rise? That's more important than the overall total. I can live on Big Macs and french fries and never have a problem with cholesterol myself- and I did that when I was younger. But I'm just lucky. Blessed with great body biochemistry.

Funnt isn't it if a Conservative made a "joke" about an entire Industry & group of people it would never be tolerated.

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. Karen
