I'm 82. I've been eating the "New Pyramid" all my life...whole milk,butter, meats, potato, daily salad, vegies, fish, clams, shrimp. No soda...no junk food.

All my food is home maid and I do a lot of freezing.

I binge occasionally...like Rice Krispies Treats this week.

I'm 5"3"...115 lbs....no meds...I'm very lucky.

Yes...when I binge, I have to fast a bit...and move more. It's not hard.

My wife and I have really tried to eat much better the last few years. Eggs come from a local farm. I eat FAGE non fat yogurt with Wymans wild blueberries for breakfast.

Our meat, fish, chicken, pork primarily comes from Walden. They deliver to our house once a month. It is local farm raised or wild caught seafood in a two person serving size.

We actually suspended Walden deliveries because I shot a deer in the backyard last November. I ended up with two boxes(about 60 pounds) of venison. Steaks, roasts, burger and sausage.

We also try to buy pasta sauce that is more natural. None of the major brands. Also nothing made with GMOs. Including pasta. No wheat from fields where they sprayed weed killers.

The pasta in Europe/Italy, even the Barilla, does not have the same wheat/chemicals in it that the crap sold in most of our grocery stores. The lettuce, spinach and other greens typically come from the green houses right here in New England. Like Lef farms out of Loudon, NH. Lettuce grown indoors 24/7 that is never touched by human hands. No E coli.

Basically, we are trying to be very conscious of what we now put in our mouth. Including when we go out to eat. I would rather pay more than eat crappy food from one of the chain “restaurants”.
