        Perform last rights now.  Antioxidents could help.  Get a copy of
the book "Protien Power" where it talks about how cholesterol is made.
Do web-searches for our dear friend Atkins, and get information on how his

        Pain is a powerful teacher, and if the lesson it taught him is
"meat will kill you," it will be hard to undo it.  Still, I am living
proof that even preferences encoded at the genetic level (my grandfather
eats his meat totally overcooked, and has a sweet {false} tooth from
heck).
