My dad is 72 and suffering from heart failure since June that he does not want to treat surgically or medically. His heart is pumping at about 20% efficiency.

He liked his hamburgers, soda, and vanilla ice cream. Extra salt on the burger to make it taste better.

It's a ****ty way to go and kills me seeing him struggling to get around. His parents made it to their 90s, so he should have had another two decades in him.

I like a good ribeye as much as the next guy, but it has certainly made me more careful about my diet and activity. I've been trying to keep more chicken and fish than beef in the freezer lately.

Everybody is a nutritional expert these days... all you have to do is go climb a steep hill to see for yourself what the steaks are doing for you.
