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

My great aunt made 115 Guinness book..oldest documented living American
about 1989. Grandmother made it to 97 and mother still living on her own
is 90. They all subscribed to a healthy diet of fat meat, and a good dose
of laughter. It must work.

Most people who restrict sodium have absolutely no reason to do so.
The diet correlated with long life is not low-fat, it's low-calorie and
high-fiber.

The only truly bad fat is the artificially hydrogenated kind.
