>Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

>vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily
>allowance of vegetable products.
>Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
>A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,
>that
>means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of
>the
>goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

>one.

>A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!. Foods are fried these days in vegetable

>Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had
>about food and diets and remember, "Life should NOT be a journey to the
>grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
>preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one
>hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally
>worn out, and screaming - WOO HOO! What a Ride!"
