Grandfather
When my grandfather turned 100 my sister and I sat down and interviewed him so we would have a record for our children. He lived to be 102 and was healthy up to 1 week before he passed away.
One question we asked him was how he lived to be 100. He said "you know people worry too much today" also "you eat too much of that bread that is filled with air" and "meat that is filled with chemicals". He always went out to the farms and bought good meat, eggs and vegs. He was a Sheriff at the turn of the century, said he never shot anybody as in those days when you said you would shoot them you did and they did not want to be shot. He was a kind and gentle person, never raised his voice and ran a very large farm and did not drink. Did smoke a pipe. We spent out summers working the farm, eating fresh food, playing in the barns and milking and drinking milk from the cows. We use to laugh that it was a miracle that we were still alive.
I guess our life style today is to worry about things cannot change and not paying attention to the stuff they put in our food??
