Where I live there is a Big Boy restaurant and a man after eating their cheeseburger had a heart attack and die right in the place, I have not touched beef, pork or lamb ever since and plan on going totally vegan this week.
Terry Pratchett wrote about a wizard who chose to serve Death. He always ate meals the way Broomhilda does because he knew Death would never come for him.
Most of that meal is vegetable based.. just processed differently. Vegetables made the beef.. and cheese.. the bun. And in the distant past vegetables made the oil. Even the mayo comes from chickens that eat seeds.
When I worked at the shop on the night shift I’d get out at three sometimes four and go to the only store that was open at that hour. They had a selection of prepackaged burgers and burritos and such to microwave, but, not a big selection. They had a double cheese burger. I made the mistake of reading the label, it read 55% RDA for Cholesterol. From that day forth I called it The Double Cholesterol Burger. Keep right on eating them.
Get regular exercise, keep your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol under control, and the occasional dietary indiscretion won’t hurt you much. But reverse it – make the dietary indiscretions a regular part of your life, and exercise only occasionally – well. That’s a recipe for trouble.

Trouble is, it sounds so much tastier than a kale salad with a side of broccoli and carrots.

Hold the mayo, put on tomato, pickles, and onions.

How apropos. I’m having a burger for dinner. I should get some bacon to go on it.

She’ll be a vegetable when she’s on life support…

Broomy has been around for over 1400 years, so I wonder if her secret is her diet.
