Considering my breakfast is a can of Coke, a bowl of Count Chocula, and a Peppermint Patty, that really sucks!LOL
A massive study examining longevity has concluded that a Mediterranean diet is an extremely reliable predictor. IOW lots of fresh fruit and veg, moderate red wine, less red and more white meat, and uncooked olive oil. Could be worth an extra decade of quality life to any of us.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
