My Great-Great Grandmother lived to 105, she was born 100 years before me born in 1896. I remember her and it’s weird to think I knew someone from the 1800s. Another fun fact, she ate close to a stick of butter in her cooking every day.

Nice. Also not a bad time to be alive for longevity. (Late 1800’s-)After the invention of antibiotics but before the invasion of plastic packaging for all food and drinks.
Similar anecdote with my great grandfather. He didn’t make it to 100 but he was very healthy and mobile into his late 90’s.
-He didn’t go to the doctor ever. (Didn’t drink excessively or smoke at all)
-He cooked his Polish meals daily. Heavy dairy, butter and salty meats. I remember my mother commenting on his “great genes”, even though he had horrible eating habits and didn’t really exercise. Somehow maintained a modest weight.
It’s crazy how much we have to “unlearn”.

It’s not just unlearning. Many foods contain genetically modified organisms… which has transferred to humanity. Waterways in the #USA are contaminated byproducts from various industries. thanks #ADM
They bought Monsanto. #RachelCarson weeps. As much as people hate the government: Environmental Protection Agency was a result of her book Silent Spring. She warned us but big FIAT tried to destroy her.
