However, good news. Dan Buettner, author of Blue Zone Solution: Eating and Living Like The World's Healthiest People" explains that the book of Genesis had the answer all along when it directed ëat the fruits of seed bearing plants (beans) Longevity is attributed to the people of Sardinia because of fava beans, to Costa Rica black beans, lentils in Ikaria and soy beans in Okinawa.
Dollar for dollar most beans deliver more protein than beef. And bean's high fiber content serves as a gut compost of sorts enabling healthy bacteria to thrive
Ever since I was a kid it intrigued me that cowboys ate a lot of beef and beans on the trail . So now we know why? And so I followed suit. Fava beans were served a variety of ways in my family The favorite being fava beans with greens. Beans and franks another simple solution
So your search is over....that is until the next authority comes along with a newer and hence better discovery

You had me until you mentioned beans and franks. There's noting healthy about American baked beans with their high sugar content.And pairing them with nitrate laced meat by products does not make for a life extending meal.
I do love my hot dogs and beans however. But I'm with you on beans. They are a great food.
Cheese? I don't know. Sounds plausible but I think the jury's still out and it may be limited to certain types of cheese.
One thing that I have to point out is that American cheese and products like Cheese Whiz are not cheese at all. some of them are labeled correctly as
"processed cheese products". Not sure exactly what that means but they are not what's being discussed in this article. I don't know how some of these companies have been allowed to label American "cheese" as cheese.
Anyroad, I like my mozzarella, muenster as well as most of the other varieties.
