When my sister was in England she complained that they had the grossest food combinations. I asked her for an example, and she said tuna fish on a baked potato was served as bar food. I asked my English friend about it, to see if it was a real combo, and she was horrified. "That's my favorite food!"
she was unbelieving that anyone would think it was disgusting...
I remember my Boston born and raised father insisting that we have baked beans with ketchup and canned brown bread every single Sunday. Though we lived in Palo Alto, California, he rebuilt our house to look like a Cape Cod Saltbox. Everything we grew up with was as East Coast as possible to ease his homesickness. Why they never moved back east I never knew, but he wouldn't even visit, so something must have happened to keep him away. He told me in such detail about Boston all my life, that when I finally visited there in my thirties, I knew every street, where the subway was, all the landmarks and old restaurants. It was creepy, like walking in a dream. I KNEW the city better than my hometown, even though i had never seen it before....

That's exactly right! I'm older than my husband, and mostly ate healthy foods growing up. He was raised in Texas and they cooked EVERYTHING in bacon fat, even put it in pound cakes, and he got high blood pressure and heart disease by 40. I had temporarily lived the texas way for a few years when we got married, gained over 50 pounds, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and developed fibromyalgia. Bacon and fats ARE delicious, but they will definitely kill you! I never felt so awful in my life, (and I'm sure my husband was taken aback to see his wife morph into the good year blimp). Thank goodness I finally started eating food without tons of fats. I was told I would always be on a lot of meds for my health, but this last year I've lost 80 pounds, normal BP, no high cholesterol, got my energy back, and my pain is obviously much better from not dragging around all the weight. I did this at 59! I was on ten medicines, now, only one. I'm lazy and love to eat, but feeling better became a gigantic, life changing reward. Everyone out there that thinks they can't get healthy, or it "runs in the family", or you are "big boned", you CAN! Just stop eating fats, little by little, you stop craving them. Fats are more addicting than morphine, in my experience (and easier to get!). Watching your health change will make you feel better than you ever have. After a year of watching me slowly lose weight and toss my meds, my husband got inspired and has lost 40 pounds. No special diet or exercise, just not eating fat in everything. I tried every single diet out there, and this is what works. Taper off fats and it will change your life! Just a tip, folks!
