My father was a meat and potatoes guy, diabetic and drank a glass of Wild Turkey every night before bed and lived into his 90's before he gave up. MY mother is close to 100 and still running around assisted living.
Personally, I don't know how I have made it through life without using seatbelts in all our motor vehicles growing up. Didn't even have them in transport vehicles in "Nam. And Airbags! How did we ever manage without airbags?
I love butter burgers, pizza with pepperoni and sausage, steak, and ice cream. The only green I want to see is in my wallet. Although, on occasion I am forced to eat broccoli or green beans. I take NO prescription meds, and I see a doctor once a year to have him tell me that my lab work is excellent. Not bragging, just stating that some folks can eat whatever they wish and live a long life. Folks that insist on a "healthy" diet think that just because they believe they will live longer if they eat healthy, that everyone else should. I asked my father once that if he knew then when they are saying now about a health diet, would he change his eating habit. He replied that why in the world would someone suffer not eating delicious foods that they love, just to gain ten more years of life....if that. I agree, but then I probably have another 20 years to go. If not, oh well. Never expected to live past 50 anyway.
All those things on the list have been on my list as great eating, all my life.
Life is great, and food makes it more delightful.
