People in the blue zones, usually:
--Eat their smallest meal of the day in the late afternoon or evening
--Eat mostly plants (especially beans) and eat a relatively small portion of meat—just three to four ounces—about five times a month
--Drink alcohol in moderation, usually less than two glasses a day
--Stop eating when 80 percent full to manage weight

B767, nice report, I like it. I wouldn't think of telling those groups to change anything as long as it's working well for them.
The problem, as I see it, is that most Americans will pick and choose the foods they like from the report and forget about the healthier aspects. And it won't be long before it gets turned it into a high protein, high fat, high calorie diet.
But for those who are truly interested, it's a great report.
