[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a male.  I have known that I was at an extreme risk for heart disease for 40 years (since I was 10).  My health is my problem.  I have to take ownership.  But, when I was dating someone that only knew how to cook foods I shouldn't eat, and got upset when I did not eat much Kielbasa, for example, that was a problem.  I explained the issue (I was 32 at the time, with no evidence of a problem other than LDL of 160, HDL of 15, total cholesterol of 250 on the maximum does of statins).  I realized that I could not live with her, and we broke up.

My Wife is the other extreme...she thinks one drop of red meat will kill me.  But,  in the last year I have had metastatic cancer and a heart stent put in....she may be right.

But your issues are health related.  I recall cooking steak once when we were first together and being asked "were these grass fed and humanely killed?"  Since we come from different worlds it took me awhile to figure out that at some stores you can actually by beef that is marketed as being fed and butchered in a supposedly more human way.  While I have given in to buying and cooking foods that are fed and slaughtered in particular ways (or advertised as such) because the relationship was worth it to me and its more of an inconvenience than anything I will tell you the first time I heard it I was going "I just cooked you a terrific meal and you are asking how the steak was killed?".

In a relationship where its a health reason it would be very hard not to make considerations for the person's whose health was in consideration.  [/quote]
