My grandmother’s idiot doctor had put her on what was essentially a no-fat, no-salt diet after her second heart attack (having done no preventative work in the previous 10 years). She could hardly taste her food.

We finally got her in to a cardiologist who, God bless him, looked at this frail, elderly woman who was too weak to survive any of the interventional precedures which were the only things that would have helped her, and who had no desire to try to live another 10 years, and told her that she could eat whatever she wanted.

She only lived a few more months, but she enjoyed them a lot more than she would have on that diet.
