Aside from the money spent, hello? We're all gonna die. My 80 year old
mother gave up on a low-fat low-sodium diet 10 years ago, telling me she was
sick to death of boiled and broiled chicken breasts and only steamed
vegetables and she said, "I'm going to die but I'm going to eat what tastes
good first, dammit!"

So she eats she-crab soup and fatty bacon and home fried potatoes. She's
going to enjoy her food while she can. YAY! Go, Mom! We're all dying, in
case you didn't notice
