I’d rather be dead than not eat butter, red meat, and cheese.

But yeah don’t cook your vegetables in animal fat, that’s stupid.

Many people say that until they almost die. 350,000 people died of heart attacks in the US in 2025. A very preventable situation. Many more almost died. In many of those said they'd rather be dead than not eat butter, red meat and cheese.

And if heart attack / stroke doesn't scare you, you can also think about atherosclerosis in your dick.

Eh, I have a suicide attempt under my belt. I very sincerely mean it when I say give me steak and coke zero or give me death.

I absolutely said that about cheese.

Then something happened I probably should have died from (80-90% of people don't make it). High blood pressure turned out to be a contributing factor. High salt consumption much of it from my favorite cheeses turned out to contribute to the high blood pressure.

I learned to like swiss. And be modest in my consumption of tastier saltier cheeses. I no longer glibly tell people someday I'll be found dead of dairy poisoning with a smile.

I would probably request cheese in a known last meal situation though.

We should all enjoy things, and many of us can still stand to be more restrained in how we enjoy. And what.

You’re under 50 and haven’t seen the results of a stroke. There are states worse than death.

Honestly, all this you must 100% do x is tiresome. Just use moderation and you'll be fine.
