Nearly nonagenarian and still buff

Jack LaLanne, still an athlete at 88:

He eats at least ten kinds of fruits and vegetables each day. He shuns meat, but does eat fish. He avoids saturated fats, and never drinks milk. Listen to this:

Jack La Lanne: “You name me one creature on this earth that used milk after they’re weaned.”
Keith Morrison: “But milk’s good for you.”
Jack La Lanne: “It’s not good for you. It’s good for a suckling calf. Are you a suckling calf?”

Oh, and also, he fortifies himself each day with a handful of vitamins and minerals. And there is one big rule, by the way, which the processed food industry may not like but here it is:

“If man makes it, don’t eat it,” he says.

Comments

Those wouldn't be man-made vitamins and minerals that he takes, would they?
