MCLEAN, Va.,- A Virginia cocoa extract supplement company said its survey of members of the baby boomer generation indicates 63 percent feel younger than their age.

The CocoaVia National Healthy Aging Outlook Survey, conducted online by Toluna on half of Cocoavia, owned by Mars Inc. of McLean, Va., found 63 percent of the 2,200 adults ages 40-to-65 felt an average of 13 years younger than their age.

The Sept. 22-27 poll indicated 13 percent of women in the boomer generation feel 30 years old or younger.

The survey indicates 68 percent of boomers are enjoying the current phase of their lives and 78 percent described themselves as healthy.

CocoaVia did not release a margin of error for the survey.

63 percent feel younger than their age.

Is that physically or mentally? The way they vote indicates the latter.

It's not so much that I feel 13 years younger than my age, it's that most other people think I'm about 8 to 13 years younger than I am, based on my apparently younger appearance. When people find out how old I am, nobody can believe it. That's the universal reaction I get. So I tell people, "I must have picked the right parents." And it probably helps that I never smoked cigarettes and don't drink very much.

That is only because the last 5 years have been like 50 and it ain’t over yet and it may not ever be over for us.

It's permanent recession like Japan, or a quick, violent reset.

Otherwise, we can hope for a Cruz-led Tea Party takeover of the government, due to Americans' anger at Democraps and Obamacare.

I feel like I’m 45. My knees say I need a reality check.

If I were a 40 year old boomer I would feel pretty young also, since Sarah Palin is almost as young as boomers come, and she is 49 years old.

And if that happens we just lurch from left to right and back again to left. America will no longer be conservative without hard lessons. Without hard lessons there will only be hard line widely spaced factions.

This’ll be you. Who says growing old is the wrong direction?

And if that happens we just lurch from left to right and back again to left.

That would be an improvement over all-Left, all the time. We have been on a steady leftward course for over 100 years.

It's well past time to fight.

The eventual goal is the destruction of Leftist ideology. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.

These truly are “The Best Years Of Our Lives”.
