>Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
>
>A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste

>will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life

>
>Q:Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
>
>A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and

>(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your
>recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
>
>Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
>
>A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that

>goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
>

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

>A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable

>"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
