The old timers in my family ate lots of saturated fats, eggs, buttery seafood, and many make it into their 90s. Many even smoked non-chemical filled tobacco for a long time. After talking with my 93 y/o grandfather 2 days ago, the missing links in his diet (until the last 30 years) were trans fats/hydro oils, corn syrups. He like everyone else was converted to processed foods, vegetable oils and corn syrups. I told him to go back through old photos and look at the time period where his body composition began changing to the current huge gut. I'd bet last years income that it was the early 80's.

I don't often check my food intake, but one day recently I plugged it into FitDay. The 2 eggs I had at breakfast, according to Ftiday, was 150% of my recommended limit of cholesterol. W. T. F. Even Ancel Keys, who by and large was a prime motivator of the lipid hypothesis, made comments about how dietary cholesterol has no effect on serum (and yeah, I don't really buy into the whole high serum cholesterol is bad thing either). Yet another reason why obsessing over RDI values is pretty pointless. Haha, that’s hilarious. I don’t often check my food intake, but one day recently I plugged it into FitDay.

Reasons today were: 1. I'm watching calories a little bit & plan a big carb cycle tonight. 2. They weren't free range. 3. Running low on whole until my next batch of free range from the a farmer in a few days. 4. I'll probably have more later. I'm going to pickle a bunch.
