Chris, I think my grandfather, who lived to be 91 ate an evolutionary
diet. I think he would have lived longer but my mom, who was totally
devoted to him, probably killed him out of love. When he came to live
with her, she thought his diet wasn't healthy so she pumped him full
of milk, processed cheese, eggs, butter, mayonnaise and meat. His
normal diet before mom took care of him was very seasonal. He would
only eat fruits and vegetables that were in season and even in his
eighty's would walk to fields and cemetaries to pick wild greens.
He ate lots of beans, pasta and bread (not evolutionary) and very
little meat before mom cooked for him and when he did eat meat it
was chicken necks, beef around bones, chicken feet etc. My brother
served turkey breast at his wedding and grandpop turned to me and
said, " This food is lousy--there's no bones, no neck no feet."
Probably the food they could afford in the old country. He also ate
very small portions. I never ever saw him eat more than small
portions. No deserts except fruit. He walked every day. And not
aimlessly. He always had a purpose. Either an errand, a visit or
foraging for mushrooms and greens. And maybe most important, he
walked to the tune of his own drummer and lived life on his own terms.
