Why is my great grandmother, who grew up on a working farm in rural North Dakota, still alive?
One of my grandmothers was born to a German immigrant farmer, so she naturally consumed those three deadly carcinogens to excess, and to make matters worse, she also ate cholesterol-laden eggs and cooked with lard. LOTS AND LOTS of lard... she was known to make lard sandwiches. That damned food took her before her time.
(A month shy of her 99th birthday.)

Good thing the indians, Lewis & Clark and all the other early pioneers didn’t’t know about the dangers of processed meats...they would have starved without pemmican, jerky etc.
