The food nutcases at the Center for B.S. never asked the question about why it is baby cows don't just stiffen up and drop dead of heart attacks.

They consume incredible quantities of HIGH FAT WHOLE MILK every day for months.

The answer is milk has anti-cholesterol drugs built in.

That's why baby cows ultimately end up as hamburger! For the baby bulls, they end up as sirloin much sooner!

I found this little tidbit in a column last week concerning eggs and bacon:

And no, eggs and bacon aren't unhealthy. (Overeating eggs and bacon—or anything else—is what's unhealthy.) In fact, whole eggs contain more essential vitamins and minerals per calorie than any other food. They're also one of the best sources of choline, a substance your body requires to break down fat for energy. What's more, in a recent review of dozens of scientific studies, Wake Forest University researchers found no connection between egg consumption and heart disease. As for bacon, once it's been cooked it contains just 1 gram of saturated fat per slice—and one-third of that is the kind that has no effect on cholesterol levels.

I believe Pritikin may have started this anti-fat garbage and we've been being nagged at by "experts" every since. They are wrong, spectacularly wrong.
