My father in-law is really suffering at the moment. You see, he's away on business in a small town called Ixopo situated in Kwazulu Natal. Anyway, he's a house guest to a family who eat nothing but white bread, potatoes and red meat. He phoned this morning complaining of severe constipation and stomach cramps.
I feel so sorry for him. They don't eat any fruits or vegetables. They won't even touch yogurt or cheese. There is literally not an ounce of fibre in their diets. Apparently they've been eating like this for as long as Dad can remember. I am personally amazed that these people are still alive and kicking. The head of the household known only as N can barely walk anymore because he is so terribly overweight. They also like to feed their 14 year old son Jelly beans and chips for breakfast. Now I know I sound terrible but they've invited us down for Christmas. I am sure that my family wouldn't survive three days there. We love fruits and vegetables. We want to blow them off but we're not sure how to go about it without hurting their feelings.
