I just returned home from visiting my uncle in the hospital who suddenly required a QUADRUPLE BYPASS!!! His 1st day of recovery and his Dr brings him the recommended diet from The American Heart Association and here’s the 1st page of things to avoid:
fatty beef,
lamb,
pork,
poultry with skin,
beef fat (tallow),
lard and cream,
butter,
cheese and
other dairy products made from whole or reduced-fat (2 percent) milk.
The Doctor was less than pleased with me as he saw me shaking my head and laughing so he asked me what was the problem. I told him that “I know my Uncle has followed this exact diet for at least 10 years because my Aunt has been fanatical about it and his cholesterol tests always come back in “healthy” range. So you just recommended him follow the exact same diet that just landed him in here for quadruple bypass. How’s that supposed to work” He simply shriked his shoulders and repeated that these were the recommendations.
Sorry about the rant but I’m Fucking Pissed.
