At our family Thanksgiving dinner one year: My Grandmother mentioned that the Doctor had recommended that Grandpa (who was 87 or so at the time) watch his diet more carefully. Grandpa said, "I've made it to 87 years old, I'll eat what I want...it's worked just fine so far!"
He passed away a couple of months short of his 100th birthday...lol.
Lol, glad he enjoyed what he liked.
