   Funny thing, "30 years ago"— remember when we used to think 3 weeks was   
   forever, and 3 years was an eternity? :-)   
      
   Meanwhile, I've found that *pure* beef products *definitely* cause my elderly   
   mother (she's 93) heart flutters.  Meanwhile, there's a half-pork-half-beef in   
   the store that's less expensive than ground beef, and she seems to handle that   
   well.  I pretty    
   much "walked away from" steak because it was simply tougher to chew (likely   
   the "cut" of the meat?") and had a much worse tendency to get stuck between my   
   teeth.  Pork? never an issue, near as I can tell.   
      
   I super-enjoy hot sausage (that's the cheapest kind in the store,   
   incidentally) on a toasted, English muffin, after the muffin has been   
   buttered, with a thin layer of mayo over it, and the sausage (45 seconds in   
   the microwave, in a 2"x2" container, the    
   grease drained on the muffin/butter/mayo base) has been covered with an   
   "agitated egg" (shake it up in a small relish jar or such: gives it amazing   
   fluffiness!) then nuke *that* for 45 seconds.   
      
   The "mini-soufflé" then gets added atop the muffin bottom, and a slice of   
   American cheese laid atop the sausage-egg-soufflé.   
   Just "Yum!" :-)'   
      
   There's something about "good grease" that keeps the veins and arteries   
   "supple" / flexible / young / healthy.  I never really memorized which was   
   which, but it seems apparent after learning to eat "good fat" again.   
      
   I know the one thing the body dislikes (mine, at any rate) is gratuitous sugar   
   (pastries).  For some reason, I seem to find pure, maple tree syrup (and some   
   honey) to be tolerable, but sugary things?  Dizzy-ville (due to the "dain   
   bramage," for some    
   reason!)   
      
   Good news of all that— I've lost around 40 lbs since starting the "no sugar"   
   habit :-)
