Contradiction #1

I went to my parent's house in Wisconsin during the holiday season. They are dairy farmers. My dad has been a dairy farmer all his life. He has high cholesterol and is on all the various medications for that malady and has had a 5 way bypass. My mom has had angioplasty and is also on cholesterol medication. They are both supposed to be on a "low-fat" diet.

My brother and I were looking through the refrigerator for some "real" (ie: not non-fat) ranch dressing because we both feel that non-fat ranch is just inedible. We asked mom if she had any "real" ranch dressing and she said "No, because your father isn't supposed to have the kind with fat in it". That is very understandable because of the heart issue. HOWEVER, this is the man who still has bacon on buttered toast every morning for breakfast.

Is that a contradiction, or WHAT?!?!?!
