ok, so i was completely appalled by this, and was hoping you all might have some insight as to WHY this happened...

My mom decided to give up meat for Lent. She became ovo-lacto vegetarian for about a month. Last week she went to the doctor to have her cholesterol tested, and it was extremely high. The doctor told her to go back to eating meat immediately to remedy the problem. Does this make ANY sense? I thought people with high cholesterol were supposed to AVOID meat.

Any thoughts?
