I am going to make that tomato soup. with the heavy cream. (thank god I have good cholesterol )
Lol you just reminded me I forgot my cholesterol meds today, they started me on them last week and I've forgotten to take it about half the time.
edit: rectified.
Fuck cholesterol meds... those cholesterol meds are based on largely bullshit theories that were not backed up by actual data/facts... the heart-lipid hypothesis is almost pure bullshit in order to try to get you to buy cheap/processed oils and cheap/process foods that have "healthy" labels.. which largely describe the opposite of what they are.. and surely also gets you to buy meds that you don't need rather than changing other aspects of your diet and lifestyle to cut out the process foods and lower your carb intake.. or to show you that eating natural foods - including increasing the good fats.. such as animal fats.. but increasing the animal fats (non processed oils... get away from margarine, various kinds of vegetable oils, corn oil, soybean oil, and even olive oil is problematic if you are cooking with it and causing it to go rancid.. olive oil has a low smoke point and there are a lot of imitation ones, too... so you are probably not even getting the real deal in terms of olive oil, even if you believe that is what you are buying) Your whole body is not going to work if you keep putting processed foods in your diet....
Good oils that you should include in your diet would at least be lard, tallow, coconut oil, ghee and butter (but butter has a low smoke-point too.. so gotta be careful not to cook too high with butter if you were to use that for cooking).... in sum.. fuck cholesterol meds.
Many years ago, my doctor told me my cholesterol was slightly elevated (I don't remember the exact numbers but it was 0.1 over the top number in the range) and signed me up for a course on how to eat. When I saw the list of foods I should avoid, I told the nurse I would rather be euthanized than to live without coffee, eggs, cheese, cream, butter and meat. Back then, euthanasia wasn't an option so I took the sheet home and never looked at it again figuring I would die from the effects of cholesterol eventually. I don't have the same doctor now but I still get blood tests and my new doctor has never said a word about cholesterol to me.
I'd better find some wood to knock on.
