Oh, that's terrible about your co-worker, EC. I think the most common occurence is a heart attack. That's what got Karen Carpenter.
I just think if you went vegetarian like the DUmmies are talking about, you'd go through life feeling starved. That's no life. I once went on a cabbage soup diet, like right before bathing suit season. It's a tomato based soup that you've added all kinds of vegetables to. You can eat all you want. I nearly fainted from weakness. So I said, **** that, and had a damn burger.
