Diet

As I sat watching the Evening News last week, they did a story telling me that red meat is not good for me. Now we've all heard this before. Personally, I don't like sprouts, lettuce is OK , but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it. I'm not crazy for most fish, either. Now, I have a question, a serious one. How did the human race survive to this point by having everything that is bad for you taste so good, and the stuff that is good for you for the most part tastes terrible? I eat a lot of red meat and animal fat and don't eat a lot of fruit and have one helping of vegetables with my dinner. I also love real gooey sweets. Occasionally, I'll have some lettuce and tomato on my sandwich for lunch, but it usually goes along with roast beef, ham, spam, or something similar. I go to my doctor once a year for a physical. I'm in my 60's, am in great health, have had a stress test, and my heart is fine. Now, as I tell my doctor, "I'll be darned if I'm going to start eating stuff I don't like, so I can live 10 years longer eating stuff I don't like". I'll eat what I want, and to you Media Elites and Liberal do-gooders out there, just "shut the h*** up and leave me alone". It is none of your business what I or anyone else eats and I will not listen to you!! I will continue to eat stuff I like. If I die a few years early, how will anyone know whether my diet had anything to do with it or not ?

P.S. If you're a tea drinker, make sure you let it cool off a little. If you drink it too hot it can cause cancer. (That was another story they did a couple of nights later).
