[Age of Reason]

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.

Might have lived to 120, if he had eaten broccoli for breakfast, instead.

Here’s the problem with that theory:

All the added years are on the wrong end.

People who keep wanting us to extend out lives into the triple digits seem to forget that:

1. Ain’t none of us going on the hunt of a lifetime at 100+.
2. If we are still spry enough to chase girls, we’re most likely not able to remember what we’re supposed to do when we catch ‘em.
3. At 120, you’re probably not in good enough shape to wave a Garand at kids making a mess on your lawn, and where’s the fun in that?

Funny you should mention that... since, he HATED broccoli. But, did eat plenty of fresh beans and greens from his garden.

HIST Grandfather lived to be 111.... I'm not sure what he ate, but... I know bourbon was a staple in his diet. :-)
