No offense meant, Bo, really.
If it wasn't for being a vegetarian, I would never know that it wasn't red meat causing my high cholesterol: I went to a check up, and the doctor said to cut back on the red meat- my cholesterol was really high. I said, "I'm a vegetarian." "Well, you need to exercise more." "I bike 10 miles a day." Well, he thought it was family history or something. Turns out, I was working at a fast food place, and my boss was giving me free milkshakes every day (yes, real milk- and lots of sugar). I found out 20 years later it was the SUGAR causing my high cholesterol, not the saturated fat. I don't actually subsist on red meat, but I do find it tasty. But that store bought processed stuff is definitely bad for you. We could all do better with twice as many vegetables as meat, no matter what our views are.
