Can't eat greens because of blood thinner meds, stay away from meat as much as possible (have a buffalo burger on NFL Sunday) but I drink too much and that's the problem.
I went and saw my brother last week and he has got to be closing in on 500 lbs. No shit. I starting in on him when he was asking his wife if he could have some "Butter-Dipped Biscuits". He called me a Food-Nazi (that makes no sense) but I am in fear he's going to drop dead in his tracks. I think I should turn the secret weapon on him - his wife. Might not be easy though but she did agree with me about biscuit thing.

Thanks for letting me vent.
Toad - I've had the same blood thinner/Vitamin K problem you do since 1989 when I had surgery, and I love salads. I give myself 2 big salads a month and then take half an extra pill that day & I'm usually ok with my INR.

I would be concerned too if that was my brother.
