Bathing And Pie Are Killing Our Young People

I'm always amazed when I talk to an older person. They are like a talking encyclopedia. Stop and think about all the things they've lived through. Ask them about the wars, tough times, radio shows, presidents, jobs, cars, ..just about anything, and you'll get an ear full. Ask about their longevity though and their answer might surprise you.

 

Tilden Pierce turned 100 years old and talked to the New York Times  about why he didn't think the younger generation would be able to achieve his longevity: too much pie and too many baths.

"Yep," he told the Times from his Plymouth, Mass., old folks' home. "What's shortening the days of the present generation is because they eat too much pie and cake."
