He says I'm in pretty good shape for the shape that I'm in. When I watched this thing. It tells me I'm going to die. At my age I know that. I tried a vegetarian diet once. All I got out of it was human rights. I am not a tree hugger. I like to eat animals. I hunger for beef. Why the hell do I watch this. It has to be depressed me.

I know that you posted this out of the goodness of your heart and your caring for your fellow human being. You aren't deluded. Once you get to be our age what the hell do we care about a bland vegetarian diet? Let us enjoy the few years that we have left. Let us plug our arteries and take our anticholesterol pills. Let's pray for a cure for atherosclerosis. Perhaps our prayers will cause some young scientist to come up with a cure in time to save our miserable lives.

You have ruined my day. I hope you feel good.

Let me eat and shut up, please.

Pass the bread & butter, please. Oh, and a bit more wine would be nice.
