What is your dietary habit?

I was wondering.

Vegetarianism/veganism is the worst thing white people have ever invented.

If you like strokes, high blood pressure, hypertension, fat, cholesterol, etc.

Eating meat is perfectly healthy.  It doesn't cause high blood pressure or high LDL cholesterol.  That's sort of a myth based on the misconception that eating fat makes you fat.

The AHA disagrees with you - decidedly.

That eating fats does not make you fat is kind of funny, actually. The question is whether or not the fat in question is a 'good' fat. An avocado is a good fat. A banana is a good fat. A jelly doughnut is not. A porterhouse is not. They'll all make you fat, but the first two won't give you a stroke.

And for goodness sakes, drop the pizza and ice cream.

As pointed out above, every year more data comes out disproving the lipid hypothesis when it comes to heart disease.  I think the more recent data shows that many types of vegetable fats are way worse than animal fats.  For example, lard and clarified butter are way healthier than something like corn oil or rapeseed oil.

But, I think the larger point is that your body and your blood work demonstrate if you're healthy or not.  If your diet is giving you bad results and you're fat, it's unhealthy.  Personally, I eat lots of meat and I have perfect blood work and a 30 inch waist.  I'm pretty sure I'm healthy. 

This is correct. We eat too much poorly prepared food.

And of course, forgive Lief. I don't think he's actually technically white but whatever.
