Every now and again I just really have to have that steak or lamb chop. But yeah, B.C. - before cancer - I would eat red meat probably three or four times a week, easily. I am convinced that the amount of red meat I contributed to it.

Oh well, the truth hurts, doesn't it?

It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come!
