Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I always point out that our great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents and on back worked a lot harder physically than we do. Yes, my farming ancestors ate meat (mostly red meat) 3 times a day, but they burned a lot of those calories. Best not to say anything under some circumstances, though, hm? Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I believe. Some people can make ot through anything. Look at Keith Richards. My Grandpa lived to be 97 and he drank pure cream, ate a stick of butter a day and meat with every meal. Much has to do with genetics. Now then there are 3 Uncles who were butchers and did the same thing, none made it to 60 and all died of cancer and had high BP, high cholesterol and everything else.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Part genetics, part lifestyle,?big part luck of the draw.? I come from a family of smokers/meat eaters.? Both sets of grandparents lived into their 80's as did my parents and their siblings.? TM I believe. Some people can make ot through anything. Look at Keith Richards. My Grandpa lived to be 97 and he drank pure cream, ate a stick of butter a day and meat with every meal. Much has to do with genetics. Now then there are 3 Uncles who were butchers and did the same thing, none made it to 60 and all died of cancer and had high BP, high cholesterol and everything else.
