My grandma lived 93 years on a diet of butter, salt, and bacon fat. She didn’t have much of a waistline, it is true, but she was strong and healthy.

My grandmother taught her “daughter-in-law” all about saving bacon grease for cooking when we moved to the south.
My grandmother passed on at 94.

My Mom is almost 90. She comes from Polish stock and grew up on pierogi, kielbasa and stuffed cabbage. She’s as healthy as can be and still eats whatever she wants. Her brother is 92 and she has 2 sisters in their 80’s and one in her 70’s. All healthy.

I read that John D. Rockefeller started every day with oatmeal with butter and salt. He lived to be 97. It seems like the biggest change in the American diet over the past few decades is the increased use of sweeteners.
