rubicon, George Burns wrote a book to describe his diet and exercise regimen and I found it very interesting. I can't say that I agreed with all of his food choices but he was very careful to do the best he could. If I remember correctly, the best thing about it was that it was calorie restricted. Calorie restriction has been known to yield pretty good results even if the food choices are not the best.
Perhaps he would have lived much longer with better choices.
About passengers passing up dessert on the Titanic:
What were the men thinking as they slipped below the surface of the water? "Darn, I could have had dessert!"
What were the women thinking as they entered the lifeboats? "Too many heavy women and this boat might sink too!"
