A: Your heart is only good for

> Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies.
> What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these?
> Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient

>
> Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
> A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is
> distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the
> fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way.
> Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
>
> Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
> A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio

A: Can't think of a single one

> Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: Definitely not! When you

> Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
> A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans ! Another

Have you found that one week they say something is bad for you and the next week it isn't?

I shared this with my golfing friends by email for I could not remember a joke that long. I added that the two Scottish golfing friends will be safe if the conclusion is true. Maybe I should send it to my doctor?
