D r. J о n e s: What do you have for breakfast?
Mrs. Fat: A traditional English breakfast. I have a glass of orange juice, a bowl of cereal and bacon and
eggs. And then I drink tea.
D r. J о n e s: Do you take milk in your tea?
Mrs. Fat: I normally drink tea with cream, though I realise that I should have it with skimmed milk.
D r. J о n e s: And what about lunch?
Mrs. Fat: Well, that depends. On some days I just have a couple of sandwiches for lunch, but sometimes
I also have a bowl of soup and cakes or pies to follow.
Dr. Jones: What do you have for dinner and when do you have it?
Mrs. Fat: I normally have dinner at 8 p.m. I know it's a bit too late, it just happens so. What do I have?
You know, I like to have a very substantial dinner — a starter, like a salad or assorted meat, followed by a
main course such as beefsteak or fish and chips and then dessert and tea or coffee.
D r. J о n e s: What do you have for dessert as a rule?
Mrs. Fat: Ice-cream or cakes, or both.
D r. J о n e s: And what do you eat between meals?
Mrs. Fat: Peanuts, chocolate, popcorn, crisps and stuff. Sometimes I just like to nibble candies.
D r. J о n e s: In fact, many people do the same and yet they have no problems with excess weight. Let me
see... Do you fry one or two eggs with your bacon in the morning?
Mrs. Fat: I actually take eight eggs, but I share my breakfast with my toy-poodle dog.
D r. J о n e s: I see. Here is my prescription: Don't change your diet. Change your dog. Replace it with a
Labrador. Or keep both dogs and share all your meals with them. And here is the telephone number of a
vet, who is a very good dog dietician, just in case your dogs might need a correction of their diet.
