Brownline authors are a sordid lot, living a half-life of darkened ritual, half truths, fawning groupies and poor diet..
Lectured repeatedly on how much Sodium my beef jerky contains, how the chocolate Old Fashioned is the work of Satan, and how countless well meaning health buffs with an unnatural interest in my colon would liberate me from chocolate and sprinkles.
Now, a little payback is in order:
The Wake Forest School of Medicine report found that farm-raised tilapia contained higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids than foods like doughnuts and bacon.
Excessive levels of omega-6 fatty acids have been linked to a number of diseases, including heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, and depression.
So, after a long productive life enhanced by leafy greens and whole grains, you’re wheeled into my room – and while we both wait to expire -I assault you with tales of the glazed obscenity you should have ate instead of the eco friendly cardboard foisted on you at the health food store?
Sure, I’m headed for the “hot” place – but they got bacon there too ..
…yeah, but down there, the bacon eats you.
I think it’s you’re duty to re-educate the health-food-junkies. I can think of nobody better qualified, and it might even get you a short stint upstairs. I’m willing to help if you can get me some chocolate-covered bacon.
For OUTDOORSMEN surviving in the wilds, the rule is “If it tastes good, it’s probably good for you.” One cannot scan the InterNet news without learning how the touted heart-healthy “trans fats” are now a proscribed killer, chocolate bars are good for the heart, alcohol may be even better, benefits of fruits and vegetables are overhyped, “organic” is a shuck, blueberries are a tasteless and overpriced scam, pesticides are waxed permanently into your apples & pears, “Supplements” are an unregulated and fraudulent waste of money, vitamins don’t do as advertised and never did…and the list grows longer each day as the “studies” keep coming in. ABANDON GUILT ! Those chocolate doughnuts look pretty good. Let’s hear it for Krispy Kremes and Sara Lee ! If we can’t eat the fish, what the hell do they EXPECT a fisherman to eat ?
Well said.
