Oh and I've been meaning to ask why you guys seem to like bacon over sausage, is that just preference as they are both fatty forms of pork, or are you anti-sausage for processing reasons? I only ask because it's one of my favorite meats and can literally compliment every meal.

The Doctor was very skeptical of the nutrition portion of my lifestyle. I waded through his bullshit and gave him a lot of head-nods simply to get the fuck on with my appointment and not have to listen to him preach because I am not as well armed with information as you are. He was astonished (and I don't use that word lightly) by my results. However, he did mention the "long term". What period of time defines long-term? I even asked him "...if I come back in 6mos and get my blood work done again, will that suffice his skepticism?" He was hesitant to answer with a "yes" but I believe that was more to do with the fact that he was taken aback by my obvious conviction to my high fat diet. Dave recently posed the question about cholesterol and what-not because his peers were throwing around some great buzz words as if they too were doctors. Now it's my turn to unveil the ignorance and sheep-ness of MY peers: What IS the "long-term" and how does a high fat diet play out at the 6mos, 1 year, 5 year or 50 year check points? I don't know if I have made myself clear here so I will also add that this long-term argument came in the context of "sure, you're leaning out NOW, but what about the long-term? When you get old you're gonna die of a heart-attack." The first thing that pooped into my head was that the scientific side of this way of eating is fairly new at least for us Westernized/Industrialized fatties in the US. Just arm me with some nukes to fry the brains of my friends and their apparent knowledge of high-fat diets. Bill,
