I was joking!

(That said, I think some people are just effectively unreachable on some

topics, and that woman sounds like she was probably one of them. However,

the follow-the-money argument can sometimes work if you're dealing with

someone who's willing to believe in corruption and self-delusion.)

friggin' worried about cholesterol!

Got a good laugh out of that one!

Suze, if this happens to all of us at least we can know that we enjoyed our

food. I always hated low-fat food. I didn't know how good cooking with

lard, coconut oil, butter could be. I was so happy to throw out margarine

and start eating butter. I always had a natural tendency to load up on the

butter and always thought I was making myself fat and being a pig. At least

these alternative theories taste good.

> " alternative theories killed her "

one thing about diet theories is that it is diet only without account for

factors such as pollution, bacteria, endo-disrupters, etc.. there are 100s

of theories on what causes heart attacks. Heck, one could map the rise in

use of petro products over the 20th C with the rise in heart attacks. Or

radio waves. I'm sure someone has.
