Vegetables are My Food’s Food!
About 8 months ago, I went to my doctor about some heart palpitations. He did a full check and the only thing he found was high cholesterol. My score was around 196, which is “too Goddamn high” to use my doctor’s exact words, and he said that I needed to stop eating fatty animals or [...]
