My Grandfather ate bacon and eggs EVERY morning... had a pretty big lunch each day.. and, a glass of buttermilk and cornbread each night for supper...
And, lived to be 101.
Oh yea... he worked his butt off daily, too. :-)
And, lived to be 101.
Might have lived to 120, if he had eaten broccoli for breakfast, instead.
My maternal grandfather ate very little other than ham and eggs and bread and butter, mashed potatoes, and coffee and cigarettes and homemade pie. Occaisionally fried chicken, catfish, trout, or liver.
He dropped dead of a heart attack at age 59. They said he was dead before he hit the ground.
