Friends and strangers are frequently commenting how healthy I am 
looking. I find that most people are OK when I state that my secret is 
my diet of all the meat, fish, poultry, vegetables and fruit I want, 
just no GBP or D. They nod knowingly when I tell them I try to get a 
good balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats. However when I tell them that 
I also eat lots of saturated fat from items like bacon and coconut 
etc.,  it stops them in their tracks. Then they walk away with that look 
that says that can't be true! I bet he takes growth hormones.....
