MrSue and I were discussing that someone we knew had a grandfather who, in his 90s, WITH Alzheimers, had a coronary bypass procedure. We decided that was dumb. Who wants to live LONGER in “Brain Failure?”
He’s on a post heart attack diet that will keep him alive longer. I’m on a restrictive diet that keeps me from having miserable GI symptoms.
This is unfair because HE can start eating steaks and bacon and hot fudge sundaes, enjoy his feasts, SHORTEN the length of time he’d live in “deprivation,” and go out smiling. All I’d get is diarrhea.
Would YOU stay on an unfun diet that COULD lengthen your life, if that longer life meant doing without the food you’d really like to enjoy?
(I SAID it was weird and creepy.)
