Whoever said on the last thread that Steve snr is the one who has created all these weird eating (and not eating) habits for the whole family is spot on...I don't know the science of it but surely if you're genetically likely to get Alzheimers or some other form of dementia then can fasting, or never eating carbs, taping up your mouth or any of the other weird stuff they do really make a difference? I'm surprised they don't just pray not to get it instead.
Steve snr is clearly someone who has to be in control, I guess that's how you get to be so rich. But when your times up, its up, however rich you are.
I do think SK is not going to fit easily into the mould, she and Sam will be the family rebels (or just move away and keep them all at arms length like Tanner does!)
