There seems to be a contradiction between the first and third paragraphs.
The Greeks in Australia were healthier until they converted to a local diet
(2nd gen.).
Far lower rates of heart disease in immigrant Greek Australians than their
burger eating children.
The Mediterranean diet is quite high in meat, oil, eggs, cheese - and fruit,
fish and salad of course.
And quite a bit of beer and cake too!
There are NO simple answers.
