This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

More than 60% of people with high blood pressure also have high cholesterol and both conditions significantly threaten heart health.
Therefore, it’s not a stretch to assume that someone who requires a low sodium diet has high blood pressure and also has high cholesterol or is at risk.
If it’s me, I’m on a high protein, high fiber diet with a focus on living and fermented foods.
I don’t. And it’s really rude of you to assume I do and try to give me condescending, basic, advice based on that incorrect assumption (that was strongly hinted against in what you replied to) and nothing else. I have hypertension through genes. I’ve been on a low sodium diet most of my life and medication since I was 19, when I was in the military and in the best shape of my life. I’m mid 30s now. I grew up with a great diet, and active lifestyle, so eating something moderately unhealthy now and then isn’t actually a risk, but that unknown salt absolutely is.
So like.. don’t be all weird when “more than 60%” is a miss with roughly 40%. And maybe just keep it to yourself either way because even if you are right? You don’t know what they do or don’t know, or what issues they have around their health. It’s none of your business and you almost certainly aren’t helping anyone.
It is a stretch when you're hearing from that person directly.
Enjoy your McD bruv.
