Need to Stop Eating Red Meat and Fried Foods!

[sjm1580]

Well, I went ahead and purchased a (new) 2011 ZD221.

I am 49 years old and since I'm sure this mower will last me until I am 149 years old I better start eating better. Starting today, no more red meat, bacon, fried foods. That includes fried oysters, french fries, hamburgers etc.

I figure by doing this I will maximize my use of this mower.

My wife isn't sure how long my new resolution will last. She thinks I will be able to stick with it till about lunchtime tomorrow.

Well, if you go back to the high fat and fried food diet you'll still get another 12 to 15 years of the tractor before a massive heart attack or stroke claims you for the reaper. Worse, you could have that stroke in the middle of a crowd and be on the ground, staring at the sky while complete strangers lament of your unfortunate situation and wonder what to do about it. "That poor man."

Best bet is to get off the fat bandwagon and give the Kubota seat a break. You'll almost certainly live longer, get to see the grandchildren and get to someday pass on that fine mower to the recipient of your choice rather than being blown out at an estate auction by vipers trying to low-buck the wife and recent widow. Yeah, time to cut the fat.

Oh, to go with those 100 years maybe use lithium-moly grease on the wheels to help them last longer.

bon appetito...

Steve, my Mrs. and I do not eat fast food...never have or prepared foods but we do eat lean meats of all kinds, we don't eat a lot of cheese or dairy and we only eat good carbs....we stay away from the white carbs...potatoes , white rice, pasta and the veggies high in carbs like all beans, we also avoid grains and our cholesterol and other numbers are all great...including triglycerides... There are plenty of articles by docs...that indicate it is sugar and prepared foods that cause inflammation in the veins and that is what attracts plaque...:2cents:

Well looks like I'll have to start tomorrow. I fell victim to beautiful rueben sandwich!

I'm not proposing or advocating that you go on a TOFU diet, but YOU only live Once. Enjoying a meal is part of Life. BTW, I have tried Tofu but my taste buds made me Spit it out. Just my thoughts.

Have you tried a Kubota ZD221?

Those "healthy" diets (if they actually are such) are great, if you enjoy them. However, when I read some of these things about what to do to live longer, I have to wonder . . . why would you want to? I guess I'm fortunate in not being a finicky eater. I like most foods and I like variety, but there are a few things I can do without, such as tofu and yogurt. I admittedly need to lose some weight and I'm making a half hearted effort in that direction, but it's by cutting back on quantity of what I eat, not eliminating things I like.

Yep, everyone should keep in mind....none of us are getting out of this alive....so try not to deprive yourself too much. I'm like Bird in that regard, Why would you want to live longer if all you could eat would be like Tofu or cardboard...? and even worse what if you spent years eating that way and died sooner than you thought anyway...that would be a real bummer...notice the with it talk there...:licking:

Would you really want to live that long without fried foods?
