My dad yelled at me for eating meat for breakfast and told me I should be reading Forks Over Knives.

He yelled at you? For that? Is he a vegan? If so, just slap him around a bit. Vegans can't hold enough muscle mass to handle the average person.

I'm sure everyone has their own encounter like this, but last Saturday at the market:

Me: Excuse me, is your Greek yogurt full-fat or non-fat?
Vendor (with a huge smile): It has ZERO fat!
Me: Nevermind, I don't want that.

Thankfully I did find the place that had the full-fat stuff. Sooo good.

Dear retailers: "It has ZERO fat" is no longer a selling point. Get the message?

No, but in our culture, meat before lunch is a big taboo.

I was having breakfast with my sister (not common, as I no longer live at home or in fact like her) and she's recently been following slimming world so was surprised when she had bacon and eggs.


She then proceeded to cut all the visible fat off the bacon...

...and followed it with a big bowl of Special K

*facepalm*

The burning question: Did you take her scraps off her plate? Can't let good pork fat go to waste.

Of course.

I read today that someone was told if they drink five 16.9 oz bottles of water a day they will drown. I guess I drowned years ago because I drink more than that.

At Parris Island we drank upwards of 16 canteens (1qt) of water daily. I survived.

Agree.

In the summer I drink upwards of 2 gallons of water just while I'm working, in addition to coconut water, and also iced tea when I get home.

My neighbor, who (including her kids) is celiac, wants to become a vegetarian. She read the China Study and swears by it. Funny part is, she said she would become vegetarian except she doesn't know how to cook vegetarian. Yep, she's dumb.

Gah!

I'm on another totally unrelated message board, and someone posted that they needed a great butter substitute. There were quite a few people going on about how great "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", canola oil and various other crap is. There were a few rooting for real butter, but even they were saying to cut back - seriously, to half a stick a month???

When asked why she needed to cut back, she said her mom had a heart attack. Well, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the butter, but I gently suggested she stick with real butter, preferably from grass-fed cows. Avoid seed oils because (among other things) they turn rancid very quickly. And that good fat doesn't cause heart disease.

I'm waiting for the flame throwers from the low-fat crowd there.
