[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 567488, member: 84"] Susie, due to our income level............food has always been strictly regulated in our home, by me. If something got eaten up within the first couple of days (husband always got paid twice a month, sometimes once a month....when military) then you did without until the next pay check because I had so much budgeted for food and we never went beyond the budget.......and that budget was low as monthly bills came first. If husband had done that with either potatoes or cheese, no one would've had any the rest of the pay period. Trust me, the kids would never have backed him up under any circumstances. lol Nor did he like having to do without until he got paid again. Now I will confess there during that last year he got out of control, especially with the cheese. I stopped buying it for a long time too. But then he'd make an excuse to go to the store and come back with cheese. Even with good genetics, eating like that is going to catch up to him. Maybe not a heart attack.....but there are other ways. Look at that high b/p for one. Stroke can kill, or it can be worse than death, at best it can leave you disabled. Even if his cholesterol is naturally very good, the extra weight is NOT helping his b/p. And a high b/p can make you feel totally rotten, physically and mentally. I'm battling a really high b/p right now even with medications, even eating well, even with good cholesterol levels and losing weight. (mine is more kidney related which docs have to go through all the tests before they believe me) I now know for certain what was making husband so darn grouchy he was nearly impossible to live with those last 2 yrs. omg I catch myself being downright surly and it surprises me. As my kidney doctor explained to me.........it's the way margarine is made that makes it worse for you than butter. BUT both do increase cholesterol and can be fattening. So why not eat the one that is better for you and makes your food taste better. Butter is more expensive, but I don't have to use as much for the same effect and I catch it on sale for 1.99 and stock up in a huge way......lasts me a long time.
