Does this mean that I need to give up the tablespoon or two of Wesson oil I use when I fry potatoes and/or eggs for breakfast?

Absolutely not! “Moderation in all things” has proven to be the best policy in nutrition as well as most other aspects of life.

My wife's dad was a tank driver in Spearhead - 3rd Armored Division under General Rose during WWII. His picture is in their Division Book, Spearhead in the West. He joined the army in 1938 and ended up in tanks because he was a farm boy and familiar with driving farm equipment. He retired in 1966.

You are the OP and can post anything you want within reason but can you explain the relevance of the tank driver story?

I was being mostly sarcastic in my comment, but like your response of “moderation in all things” regarding food. Thus I have gone from my days in Germany of a couple of beers with a meal out to only one beer.

Very good on your father and I’m glad he made it safely home to have and raise his family.

Prost.
