The Hunza posts are interesting.  My grandmother, who grew up in
Wisconsin on a farm (where she ate only the food she grew or the food
her neighbors grew) lived to the age of 102 with no health problems
whatsoever. She died in the year 2000, which is amazing, since many
other americans alive during her lifetime were eating very different
diets than she was enjoying.  She was in great shape but never 'worked
out' like we tend to do today. She worked hard, though, walking quite a
bit on the farm and working very hard in the fields or in the house.
Most of her 13 siblings also lived to be close to 100.  The last one
just passed away last month at the age of 98.    They rarely ate
processed food and certainly never ate junk foods like you see in the
standard American diet.  She ate mostly meats, eggs and veggies when
available.    Grandma had no cancer, heart disease, or anything of the
sort.  (She only had osteoporosis, which was probably the result of
undiagnosed celiac disease.)
