That's my parents and most of my aunts and uncles who all ate a "normal"
diet and died of coronaries and/or strokes.

That's no excuse. Looks like it's still enough to make you use expletives
all over the plaice!!

He's got a webcam???

Wish I was a skinny geek! My beergut is the equivalent of carrying two heavy
suitcases around all the time and it won't go away.

And anyway - it might be his religion. He might be Geek Orthodox!!

And there's a hyphen in self-congratulatory.

And as for the subject line - I used to suffer terribly from Migraine - up
to three attacks per week before I became Vegan. Once I'd given up dairy
stuff it virtually disappeared!

So there!

Nemo, I had the same experience. I have had "common" migraine regularly,
several dozen times a year or more, since I was a teenager. I'd spent years
as an ovo-lacto vegetarian with little change. But when I finally got rid of
the eggs and dairy, after a few months I realized I'd had not a single
headache during that time. The only times I've since experienced headaches,
mild ones at that, have been when I've had a few servings of foods
containing dairy products.
