It's his choice, and saying anything isn't going to do any
good (advice learned from trying to do the same with my
brother). Then, when the doctor says, okay, you have three
months to live, why didn't you cut down the carbs, he'll
say, why didn't anyone tell me before.

My father used to get them and then not eat them - then
he'd insist on making me eat them when I came over to visit
so as not to be wasteful. Hot pepper and garlic sauces
hardly rendered them palatable.

I want to avoid MoW as long as I can, perhaps more carefully
than I'll avoid death as long as I can.
