Exactly what foods should we have been consuming all along which would make this miracle come to pass? If this logic were, in fact, true, then indigenous tribes which, until interference from the western world,would have been living on this natural diet you seem to think is the fountain of longevity, would have had a populous which had a good portion of several hundred old citizens, yes? And let's be honest here folks..would you really WANT to live 800 years? Not to mention the serious population problems the world would be having.
Has anyone considered that fear and condemnation for everything we do is bad for our health? Science can do better than this. More water definitely with less chlorine sounds like a good idea. Dolly Parton once said she ate whatever she wanted just not very much of it. This makes sense to me. I hope we calm down with our paranoia. It seems that the scientist who make it to the morning shows are just not really the good ones. Everything is wrong, unhealthy or terrible. Like the ol codgers say.
Yes, you are correct. and you answered your own question at the same time. Be honest, you think 70-80 is what people really want? if that's the case funerals should be treated like frat parties. but no, somebody is crying too hard to see their loved ones leave SO SOON. Personally, I wouldn't mind living until 300-350 as long as I'm as fit, mobile and clear thinking as I am now. why not? If I could ALL the things I do now, running, hiking, swimming, fixing on my cars, weights, etc...be all I can be, are you kidding me? 300 is a cool number. Problem is, this world has taught us that long life is NOT cool. it's boring. And nature will take care of the population with floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc...as it has always done.

I read a long time back that all mammals live 12 times the age of their puberty except us. So apparently we should be able to live 130 + easily is what the article was saying. recently I read how the liver regrows every 2 months, skin every 6 months, nails, hair and fuel for brain cells. It really makes sense that you are what you eat.
Granny an' Uncle Ferd both big fans of `shrooms... Study: Mushrooms Can Help Dieters April 22, 2013 - The humble mushroom can pack a powerful nutritional punch, according to two new studies released Monday. The edible fungus can help dieters reduce their intake of red meat and still feel full, and can provide as much vitamin D as a nutritional supplement.
Okay you all are likely right but if your low income especially very low income you eat what you can afford. Ever price high quality meat like fish or the cost of fresh fruit or even basic cereal if you want milk on it over say a staple food a box of mac & cheese or going to an all-u-can-eat pizza buffet to chuck in all the calories I can for under $6 (one meal for the day). Maybe instead of food stamps having government price caps on staple foods subsidized by the government would be better and allow more people to buy good food, get good quality fish to $3 a pound I would buy it and make it at home.
