Diets, dairies and dying in Derry.

Or - my cholesterol is killing me. The tyranny of the health mafia bears now upon us. After 48 years I am poked, prodded and bled, the corporeal version of an automobile. In the 1960s as a child we were told that dairy products are essential in building bones, and that milk makes you stronger. Now it is all low-fat, taste denuded insipid rabbit

You can still get calcium from low-fat milk. Eating healthier food may be difficult at first, but you can retrain your taste buds to like it. Once you go off fatty foods, they taste bad.

I switched to semi-skimmed years ago. I wish I had your discipline.

You can do it, it's just like working out - slow going at first, but then it becomes second nature.

(Boasts) I never had any trouble working out. Cholesterol is a bit annoying. Diet only has a 10% role in reduction.
