Watcha eating?

A summer sausage sandwich. Good summer sausage is hard to find in the southern US and this is only tolerable. The real stuff comes in sticks 2 or 3 feet long and big enough to fill a burger bun.

What is summer sausage?

It is bad news full of sodium, fat - It is a lunch meat popular in Chicago, New York and the Northeast...In many Deli's but I would not eat it.

Funny, I have lived in New England for thirty plus years and I've never heard of it.

I do not eat at MickyD's or partake of hot dogs, but I do like good summer sausage.

The stuff made by food factories is mostly all bad. A good butcher shop would do it right but I expect that to get good stuff one would has to make it.

A beef venison mix is good.

Oh, sorry I just saw the subs in the picture, I re-read thanks.

Agree that many oils (olive probably the most prominent) have beneficial effects and should be included in any diet.

No, absolutely not if you have heart disease.

For lunch I'm having a big bowl of Butter bean (lima) soup and corn bread.:)

I could not agree more. We all have to eat according to our individual bodies/genetics. I have been blessed with decent chlorestrol numbers and good blood pressure. On the other hand my wife gets to eat red meat once a week.

Most low fat diets do not eliminate olive oil. Is your diet following AHA or other established recommendations?

My diet is heart disease specific, and does eliminate oils. Many do.

Tragically for me and many others, the AHA established recommendations are influenced by the dairy, egg, oil, and beef industry's multi million dollar lobbying fund. (In small print their adds even say sponsored by the______ company (one of the above lobbyist)).
The recommendations do not work, sadly.
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the US.
After following the " American Heart Association established recommendations" closely for 4 years I still had a heart attack.
President Clinton dosen't even bet his life on the AHA recommendations.

I could go into a lot more but then this thread will go political really fast, so I will stop here.

I now go with the cardiologists that have a track record of successfully stoping or reversing heart disease.

This thread has gone rather far off topic, but it has made me realize something interesting: For many of us, our diets are a major factor in the creation of high blood pressure and heart disease, but I wonder how many others feel the same as I do, "since I can and do take medications to lower my blood pressure and control my cholesterol, I should be able to eat what I want, when I want." I tell myself I have a reasonably healthy diet much of the time, so that allows me to fry up and consume a half pound of bacon a few mornings a week....yeah, right.

Any comments?

Now JD quit teasing with us, everyone knows the statins only work on the cholesterol your body makes in the liver, not ingested cholesterol. (That's why you fast before a blood cholesterol test.)

My personal source: Stefano Sdringola, MD ,Weatherhead Distinguished University Chair and Professor of Medicine, University of Texas Medical School/Memorial Hermann Heart and Vascular Institute, Weatherhead P.E.T. Center for Preventing and Reversing Atherosclerosis - sat me down in his office and showed me the graph of how ingested cholesterol shoots up your blood cholesterol and then it goes down slowly after the next eight hours. Which by then you will probably ingest more cholesterol repeating the cycle. All animal products have cholesterol.

Now back to our foods, and try to stay on track here. Tell what foods you are enjoying.
Today's late lunch:
Had to eat on the road today, always a challenge. Luckily the SouperSalad had an all plant-based butter bean soup and I also had a salad of 16 different vegetables and greens, with a bit of fat free raspberry vinaigrette.
