I have to sit back and laugh when I think about people that spend their lives worrying about what they are eating.  Personally, if I'm going to die someday anyway, and have no way of knowing when that day will be, I have other things that are much more important on my mind.

I have yet to see a "healthy" diet save someone from mortality, or make them able to get up after being hit by a Mack truck.  Case in point, the leading "Health and Diet expert" in the US was Dr. Atkins.  Sure, he may have had a perfectly healthy body, not a thing wrong with him after years of following his own diet plans, but it still didn't help one bit when he slipped on a piece of ice on a New York sidewalk!

For me, my main diet is caffiene and nicotine, in abundance!  Not to mention good ole beef and potatoes.  If it means that I only live to be 75 rather than 75 1/2, so be it.  At least I know while I was here I ate what I wanted, didn't feel guilty, and actually enjoyed a necessary part of the human existence rather than worrying about it!  Well, with the exception of the smoking, but just ask my father what I'm like when I am not doing that.

The last time I quit, it lasted 3 months, and then my father bought me a pack of cigarettes saying one of two things had to happen:  I had to smoke, or I had to move out.  Considering the fact that I am here to help care for my mother, the former option won!
