Food too expensive? Kellogg’s CEO says eat cereal for dinner.

[Primemuscle]

No one is getting diabetes because of eating cereal for breakfast unless they eat the whole box in one sitting. You do not need an extreme low carb diet to live long.Most old people live on a diet of cookies, candy, ice cream and donuts.

Not this old person. Where did you get the idea that this is what old people eat?

[Humble Narcissist]

Not this old person. Where did you get the idea that this is what old people eat?

I've known many old people. Family, neighbors, church people, etc. Do you actually think people in their 80's and 90's are all eating steamed vegetables and skinless chicken breasts?

Then you should publish a peer reviewed study based on your very scientific observational data.  Look around.  There is an increasing worldwide epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes, including Lean Diabetes, even in countries like China and India.  It's no longer First World problem.

Did I say old people never eat crap or that all old people eat healthily? What I wrote was that I am old, and I eat healthily... this is a lifestyle choice and not something that automatically happens as we age. I also eat considerably smaller portions than I did when I was younger and more active therefore burning more calories. I weigh the same today at 79 years of age as I did when I was in my late teens. My overall fat percentage is 10% and my visceral fat percentages is slightly lower than that.

Again, not talking about fat obese people. You can eat a low to medium calorie diet eating anything and not grow to obesity.

Eating This One Thing Regularly Is One of the Easiest Ways to Get Diabetes

https://parade.com/health/the-one-food-highly-correlated-with-diabetes-according-to-endocrinologists

The #1 Food That Causes Diabetes, According to Endocrinologists

All of the obesity specialists we spoke with unanimously agreed that ingesting refined sugar regularly can increase your chances of getting diabetes, a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.

"The excessive consumption of sugary foods and beverages can lead to insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of diabetes," explains Dr. Maria Teresa Anton, MD, an endocrinologist and educator at Pritikin Longevity Center. "But cutting down on added sugars is a simple yet powerful step in managing diabetes risk," she says.

Dr. Rekha Kumar, MD, an endocrinologist and the Chief Medical Officer of Found agrees, especially when it comes to sugar-sweetened beverages like fruit juice and soda. "They are high in calories and sugar, often fructose, which is a version of sugar that leads to insulin resistance," she says, referring to the precursor state to diabetes.

While sipping sugary drinks every once in a while isn't the worst thing in the world for a moderately healthy individual, cracking open a can of Mountain Dew is not something you want to get into the habit of doing—especially if your family has a history of diabetes.

"Regularly indulging in sugary treats or high-carbohydrate foods can spike blood sugar levels, placing increased stress on the body's insulin response," says Dr. Anton, adding that moderation is key, as is being mindful of portion sizes. Measuring your food, drinking a large glass of water before meals and chewing slowly are a few helpful ways to stop overeating.

I can't believe people on here still think this stuff is real. I worked at a nursing home when I was young and the old people there ate Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Captain Crunch, Coco Pebbles, Fruity Pebbles, etc, etc, for breakfast everyday. These 95 year old people were still kicking while the bodybuilders who ate steamed rice and chicken breasts for every meal had died decades earlier.

Go ahead and suffer eating tasteless food thinking you'll live to 120 while I'll continue eating yummy food and enjoying life.

Hold on slick.  My primary care physician declared a couple of years back that I would live to be at least 100 years old based on my excellent health. If he is correct, I will outlive most of you yahoos on Getbig.

How old were your parents when they died? Unless they lived to 100 you are screwed. No one beats genetics and you don't even lift, just sit around on you fat hairy ass all day complaining about the orange man.

[Primemuscle]

How old were your parents when they died? Unless they lived to 100 you are screwed. No one beats genetics and you don't even lift, just sit around on you fat hairy ass all day complaining about the orange man.

My parents died young by today's standards. However, what they died of had nothing to do with their or my genetics. My mom and dad were only together for a couple of years. They both exhibited excessive self-destructive behaviors.
 
My mom died from emphysema. She smoked five packs of cigarettes a day starting when she was in high school. My father was an unhappy, anti-social alcoholic from what I have been by his family. I don't smoke and in comparison, to my father, I am almost a teetotaler.

Other than my mother and father, my ancestors on both the paternal and maternal side of my family lived well beyond the normal life expectancy for their times.

I have exercised my entire life, including weight training (I do lift) and am exceptionally physically fit. My diet is incredibly healthy. I am 5'10" tall, weigh around 175 lbs. with less than 12% overall bodyfat - 10% visceral fat. I am not much of a risk taker. In fact, I live a fairly quiet and stress-free life.

However, I am mostly bald and have been since my twenties. Do people die from baldness? I don't believe they do. One thing you may be right about is that I still spend entirely too much time posting on this internet board which is mostly a negative downer. But, I am not nearly as serious minded as I probably appear to other 'Getbiggers.'

Smoking and alcoholism will definitely shorten lifespan. I guess you'll have to wait and see. If you're lucky you'll make it another eight years. What state you'll be in at the time is questionable.

My primary care physician told me I would live to be at least a century old, and I intend to hold him to it. After all, he should know. He has been my doctor for about 30 years. 

Note, my interacting with certain folks and their juvenile level of thinking and posting on Getbig really keeps me on my toes. And I thank them for this.

You seem to have an obsession with folks' financial wealth? Why is that?
