When I was a kid a friend of my parents lived next to a doctor one time at a cookout at an old house that had been fixed up as a fishing cabin the doctor criticized most every habit of the farmers and told them they were all overweight,so they handed him an axe and told him to chop firewood.The doctor took 3 swings and was out of breath,,the farmers that ate meat every meal and drank on occasion are still alive in their 80s, the doctor barely made it to 60.

One of my sisters went on a diet that cut out meat because it might have fat,both her and her daughters got anemic,.There was a cookie marketed as zero fat but it had huge amounts of sugar in it, I think you should pay attention to your parents health and do what works and don't do what causes problems
