My dad lived to be 95 years old and his diet was atrocious according to everything I hear about a proper diet. Two teaspoons of sugar in his coffee, eggs and bacon for breakfast almost every day - some kind of meat with mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner - pie, cake, and/or ice cream for desert. And a snack before bed time.IDrinkBloodLOL wrote: Therefore, if you're trying to get your shit together and avoid dying of hamburger poisoning at age 45, your first step would be to kick all vices. From there, try if possible to lose weight and stop being black. Then and ONLY then, begin to worry about whether or not this or that obscure dietary theory is correct. There is substantial mounting evidence that industrial/processed foods are bad for you, but I think we all know that at this point, and once again people seem to be healthy enough even eating a diet of pure industrial swill as long as they eat LITTLE enough of it. FWIW, I personally practice lacto-ovo vegetarianism. I love meat, but I don't trust anything but wild game anymore.
Maybe he could have squeezed out a few more years, maybe not. I'm 67 now and you can ask me later on what I think about it but right now I'll take my father's deal and I don't even care about living to 95. 90 would be more than enough - that's where I set my retirement planners.
