Coffee and steak.

Food is good.  Coffee is still part of it.  Is coffee good for you?  Some say no, some say yes, others believe it is a religious thing while drinking regular soda?  No.  So, for me, if I were to vote it in or out, it would be based on health.  What I have seen is that... it is debatable.  Which... most likely means it could very well be good for some people, but not others.

As it stands, consensus is deemed more important than truth.  Neither side of the debate cares if the other side might have the truth of it, for some subsection of population.  It's... all or nothing.  "I win".  Right or wrong.  So... I don't worry about what they think.

I have cut coffee out before.  For extended periods.  I have seen no advantage.  Though, to be honest, I don't get much of a bump from caffeine consumption.  With sugar, sure.  But I think that is the sugar.  And I know that has been bad for my health.  Caffeine, alone, just doesn't do all that much.  At this point, it's just the flavor of the brewed bean I... like?  Well, I'm used to it.

Still, I think I will be adding tea back in.  Replacing the afternoon coffee with tea.  Some of that will be purely herbal/floral.  So have no caffeine.  Sometimes I may add cream, or sweeteners, but cutting back on both of those.  Just to... cut my calorie and fat intake.  Now that I am eating more, and better, foods, I can back off on the gats.

I cut this morning to about half a cup of cream.  Which allows me more meat, or another half cup for later.  Along with, say, six ounces of ribeye, thick cut.  Oh, that was delicious.  I have to figure out how to cook eggs though.  Might have to go back to doing those in stainless, on the stove.  Cooking those at a lower temp will keep the splatter, and fat dispersion, down.  Steaks and burger can go out on the griddle.  I just can't get the eggs right, out there.  

Hmm... might try to level the griddle more evenly.  I tilted it, for easier oil removal.  Works well with burger, or steaks, but not truly required.  Doesn't do well with eggs, at all.  Ugh.  Live and learn, live and learn, live and learn.  Mistake after error after foible, until... better.  Then?  Back to the metaphysic eye exam?  Better?  Worse?  Better?  Worse?  :p  Later.
