That's good. I'm glad to hear it. My diet is anti-inflammatory too. That's part of what it takes to help prevent cancer and other degenerative diseases. I believe I have a couple of his books but I don't remember what's in his pyramid. When I get a chance I'll look for it. I never got too excited about his work because, if I remember correctly, he's big on supplements and herbs.

If you click on the parts of the pyramid in the link Kitty gave, it will bring up a window listing foods in that group and why they are beneficial.

I read no such implication. It's simply your inference because it suits your argument.

I see that the phrase "throw in the towel" has you confused. So forget about that phrase. The essence of my question was to find out, in his opinion, what age has to do with it. If I was wrong in my assumption, he could have set the record straight. I would like to know why one would suddenly start to enjoy themselves at a certain age?

Really? I didn't see any such link.

Finally we agree on something, VPL. Much of what you say leaves me confused.

Because at a certain age, one retires. :MOJE_whot:

Because they retire, they sleep in if they feel like it, they golf daily, they get new hobbies, their time is finally their own, they can be barefoot at last and do whatever the heck they want!!

The thread heading is: For those interested in planning a healthy Thanksgiving. So we're talking about food and we don't know if this person is still working or retired. If retired, we don't know how long the person has been retired. The person started by saying, "At my age", not "Now that I'm retired".

Nice try though. Anyone else care to give it a shot? :)
