The medical/scientific community finally seems to be coming around


After decades of them telling me that basically my entire diet is bad for me, they seem to have given up. As I said in one of my posts yesterday and others, studies are increasingly being published about the health benefits of beer. Then it was shown that your morning jolt of java was good for you.  Now there is more good news.  Turns out that whole thing about fried foods clogging your arteries kinda like spackling them with plaque is not true.  A recent Spanish study followed more than 40,000 people over a decade.  It was just published in the British Medical Journal.  The study, based in Spain, found no correlation between heart disease and the amount of fried food in the diet.  So stop by the Colonel's for a bucket on the way home tonight.  The stop and pick up a six-pack to go with it.  And since I seem to be the new model for healthy dietary consumption, I suggest you get ahead of the curve and start loading up on potato chips, cheesecake and pork sausage, too, cuz they're part of my well rounded and now medically vindicated diet, too.

We used to joke that the only "healthy" foods would be root beer and Twinkies. I'm glad we can add other things to that list. Heh.

Salt and vinegar pork rinds. It's the elixir of youth.

You forgot bacon & eggs, and real butter on your toast. (Whole wheat for me though - white bread plays hob with my blood sugar levels.)
