Dealing With Judgmental Idiots

So... I'm in college. I took one class this semester and it was HEALTH... Wtf was I thinkin... So I told the Prof/Dr I was going to be out for surgery and she was cool..... So I get back in class and she shows us a film called Forks over knives which pretty much is a documentary on how meat and dairy will kill you and how we can get all the protein we need from veggies. They of course had people doing this plant based diet and the all pretty much look like what we went under the knife for...diabetes... High blood pressure whipped out.... By the end of the movie I felt like a total ass.... So I ask her at that point about the protein I'm drinking and she says why are you drinking that. And I tell her about my bypass... And her face just dropped.... She then said for me to ask my dr about switching to a plant based diet.. But I'm telling you the look she gave me was as is I told her I had stage 4 cancer.......... I know it's too late now but I wish I had seen that flick beforehand..... I hope I haven't done something that will eventually kill me... I was trying to prolong my life.... I'm very afraid....

  • Most films like that are propaganda. Don't believe everything you see on television. That is one opinion. Follow your doctors advice, they have your best interest at heart. Any concerns, ask them.

Wow... You did good not saying anything.... I had a crazy inlaw.... Until she realized I'm crazier and that either she work with me or her life would be a living hell.... She learned fast and we wound up being the best of friends.... If you put that chick in her place one good time she will watch her tone....

I should have said something but I just did not think quick enough. I guess next time as I am sure there will be
