Sorry about your brother, I have tried to modify my diet especially after having an AMI. Have done a little better but not like I should. Grandmom had a butcher shop from the time I was born up til about my early 20's. Grew up with some sort of meat on the table every night. It's like an addiction, if I don't have "meat" for a few days, I get an insatiable craving... Then I end up eating way too much! I'll eat 'basic' veggies. No salads or the like. Can't stand vinegar, any type of salad dressing, even barbecue sauce. Open a bottle across the room and I'll know it. Love Italian sauce, but can't stand catsup! I'm definitely a strange character! I've driven the wifey nuts for the last 35 years when she cooks... She's an excellent chef, I just won't eat 90% of what she does.... We make a strange couple.
