Whats good, whats bad for you this week.

It seems like every week (almost daily), some article comes telling us what is BAD to eat and what is GOOD
to eat. Also, what other things can kill us young.
If I had paid attention to all this GOOD/BAD thru my life, I would have been dead AT around 25 - 30 years
old. (you know: how many days you loose for each BEER, each CIGARETTE, each DONUT, red meat, and on and on.)
Glad I didn't pay attention. I've smoked for 65 years, drank beer, wine, booze, ate/eat red meat, for the same 65 years, and enjoyed ever bit of it. At 80, I'm healthier than almost anyone I know (meaning younger, I don't know any one older) - too many paid attention and died young. Eat, drink what ever you want, just don't overdo any of it and you will either be fine, or dead, but you will have enjoyed life more.

I remember my husband and my grandfather sitting in the front of the truck as we drove someplace. My grandpa was telling MrG how he had quit smoking in 1985, quit drinking in 1988, gave up coffee in 1993, and drank green tea in the morning. My husband looked at him and said,"What do you do for fun?"

Keep up the good work.
