<human>: Well reddit, for my entire life i have been a passionate carnivore. I enjoy meet just as much if not more than the next guy, and up until recently i would never consider giving it up. When i was in my teens i was a fairly hefty kid and have previously had cholesterol levels a bit higher than usual.  

Along with my own previous history, i have a SEVERE family history of heart disease. I've had several family members have heart attacks, many of which were debilitating or fatal. Just last week i had an uncle of mine collapse on the street and die of a fatal heart attack; he was a regular runner and leaving the gym. Most of the old members of my family are on some form of cholesterol medication but it doesn't seem to have done much good. What should i do? Note: i am male, 21 years old.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Severe family history of heart disease and i am afraid i'm next. Is it worth giving up meat for the sake of my health?
