I'm thinking about creating a new diet. The 100 year old diet. It seems that most of the stuff that is bad to eat has been invented in the last 100 years. In order to live to be 100 you can't eat anything that was not invented at least 100 years ago. Let me know what you think.

    Sounds about right. All of the fast-canned-store in your cupboard foods came after WWII. Then in came the fast food joints. I think when people eat healthy- they do end up reverting back into the type of eating you are talking about. 100 years ago... everyone ate at home. Food was cooked and prepared there. I think this is a decent idea.

    Does that mean I have to take cocaine instead of excedrin?

    I think that's the basis of the Paleo Diet but I haven't looked into it too much.

    Are you going to start growing all your food or something?

    Good luck with that.

    Lol! How about some opium for cough and sore throat too?

    Canned, jarred, preserved foods using sodium were pretty common foods for our ancestors. They just get a bad rap because people don't understand anything about sodium.

    Good luck with that.

    This is basicly what we do.....We have a garden and grow most of our veggies....I then can them myself (yes the old fashion way), we also raise and butcher our own meat, cows, pigs, turkey, chicken. We also have chickens for eggs. I buy little from a store, mainly just basics, bread, butter, snacks, etc.
    Its a great way to live!
