Dinah,
In my case, Safeway Select is good enough. I don't even need Ben & Jerry's. I had a really funny (ok, pathetic) exchange with my mdoc about just this when I had a physical this year.
mdoc, "You need to lose 30 pounds and get more exercise. Your cholesterol is too high."
me, "yeah so?"
mdoc, "you don't want to die young, do you?"
me, "how 'bout 20 years ago?"
mdoc, "huh?"
me, "Why the heck do you think I have a pharmacy in my bathroom and visit a pdoc every month? For the fun of it? Oh and the Resort & Country Club (hospital) was fun for the week of my visit."
mdoc, "oh. I see. Uhhh...."Ted
PS: I hope you start feeling better. Ear infections are really awful. My last one caused some permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. Take care of yourself.
> How am I as a not infrequently suicidal person really going to sit and listen to a lecture about how I can extend my life by eating less fat and sugar. If it's as easy as that, pass the freakin' Ben and Jerry's.
