From the Everything Causes Cancer Department, the pleasure police are now warning us about grilled food.
High-heat cooking methods such as grilling and broiling cause meat, poultry, and fish to form potentially carcinogenic chemicals, especially if charring occurs. In addition, when fat drips on hot coals (or any heat source), other possible carcinogens are formed and are deposited on the meat by the rising smoke and flames.I think it's much easier if you simply accept that fact everybody dies eventually. Once you get that out of the way, you can go about living by the General's motto:
Live the good life. Drink, smoke, gamble, feast, joke, fornicate and be tolerant of those who do. Take risks and thrive for the good challenge. Work hard and play hard without going over the edge. Live in the moment. Believe in moderation in all things, including moderation. Live it up!I'd rather die fat and happy than live in prolonged misery.

I'm trying to not sound like a total jerk, but you can do those things to a certain point in life then you realize you're missing what's really important. Family, real love, eros and agape. Christ showed us how to live but his way has been too confused with modern religion so most reject it. It takes time to see what's really important, fun has its place but too often it leads to the injury of others; when we injure others we injure ourselves too. What I want to say is: have fun but stop and think about what you want to leave behind. How will you be remembered?
Posted by: kjo at June 22, 2005 7:47 AMI hope to be remembered by the awesome grilling I've been turning out this summer - steaks, chicken, tuna, salmon, hot dogs, hamburgers, swordfish, corn, tomatoes, lamb.
Its all been good. Heck, if the weather holds out, every dinner from here until September will be done on my CAST IRON Ducane Gas Grill.
Mmm Mmmm Mmmmm

"And now the latest from the Department of Health... Saliva causes cancer! But only if swallowed in small quantities over long periods of time..."
