“I was lucky I did not die of a heart attack [in 2004]. When I had my second heart incident [in 2010] and I had the stents put in, I had passed all my physicals, I was doing great, but I was still building up plaque in my arteries.

Getting rid of the dairy was great, getting rid of the meat was–I just don’t miss it.”
