I’m not a big meat eater, but, my great grandmother grew up on a farm in Indiana in the last century. Died in the mid-80’s at 98. Was on the go till the last year of her life when her kidneys started failing, the most common cause of death if nothing else gets you first! lol
She attributed her longevity to eating meat 3x a day…farm breakfasts of ham and pork chops, huge mid-day meals with beef and more meat at supper.
She walked 2 miles a day though until well into her ninties and didn’t smoke or drink.
Her daughter, my great aunt, died at 64 after a 3 year battle with colon cancer. Doctors said she ate too much meat.
It’s all in the genes, literally.
I don’t stress too much about diet, just pay attention but my mantra is, we have to die of SOMETHING! Unless we are lucky enough to get hit by a bus at 90. lol
