Came across this story yesterday:


"...America's oldest veteran, 111 year old Richard Overton, smokes 12 cigars every day. The lifelong Austin, Texas resident starts his days at 3 a.m. by drinking 4 cups of coffee. He then walks around his home to get his blood flowing before downing a breakfast of whole milk and grits. Richard eats chicken, meatloaf and fried catfish for lunch and dinner. Whiskey and Coke's flow throughout the day."

Am I th only one tired of having to work so hard on what I eat to try to maintain health while some old people are seemingly able to do whatever and live forever?

You know anyone like this?
