I'm also worried about the increased fat diet that could clog the arteries.

simplified: this, again, is a misconception - fat doesn't per se clog the arteries. LDL (bad) to HDL (good) cholesterol levels do that, which are influenced by a lot of factors, like smoking, alcohol, certain kinds of fats and simple carbs (sugar).

There is no evidence fats clog arteries.

Steve Jobs used to worry about that.

It lead to very unhealthy habits.
