Great article. Sad, in some ways, but enduring and joyful in others. I

love the way it ends:

#########

But for those who wonder just how she has reached such a remarkable age, Hanna

has her own words of wisdom.

" There's nothing in this life which is worth worrying about, " she says. " Don't

be nervous, whatever happens. Don't

sit near your TV sets and wait till sickness finds you. Work, walk, meet

people, do something but don't stop moving.

" Love people and forgive people, whatever they do. Eat good meals - eat pork

fat, gherkins and potato,

drink good vodka and wine. That's my recipe.

" And meet every morning as if it's the last morning of your life. "

#########

By the way, great tag line. Dorothy Sayers is one of my favorite writers

and her essay on the " Lost Tools of Learning " is a classic.

The *New* Ten Commandments

" They told just the same,

That just because a tyrant has the might

By force of arms to murder men downright

And burn down house and home and leave all flat

They call the man a captain, just for that.

But since an outlaw with his little band

Cannot bring half such mischief on the land

Or be the cause of so much harm and grief,

He only earns the title of a thief. "

--Geoffrey Chaucer, The Manciple's Tale

Raw pork fat? Does that mean she doesn't cook it? What does she do eat a

spoonful of lard with salt sprinkled on it or is it solid like bacon?

My grandma lived to be 96, and she INSISTED on ham with every meal (and the

fat).

She claimed pork fat was really good stuff (tho hers was not raw). Many of her

meals were ham and green beans, also potatoes ... note the lack of wheat

products!

Part of his woman's longetivity might have been the " famine " part

though. It seems that " not eating enough " really does help

animals and people live longer, intermittent fasting.

Funny, I was just reading a booklet on how to keep your liver clean by Dr.

Shulze last night and he was totally bashing pork, saying how it shortens

one's life, yada, yada, yada. On a previous page he said that animal foods

cause cholesterol to clog up your gall bladder. I tossed the booklet in

exasperation, even though he does have some good info on herbs and

cleansing. It was refreshing to wake up and the first thing I read was about

a 116-year-old woman who lives on pork fat! LOL!

I'll need to share this with my dh! He LOVES bacon and makes us keep

the lard in the fridge to " add " to things!

[Guest guest]

This article is so timely for me. I must have eaten 3/4 of a pound

of bacon yesterday! Scale was down too, so I'm thinking that should

happen more often!

Lard is rendered, melted down pork fat. Said fat was salted so its probably

made like salt pork in a crock, submerged in brine salty enough to float an

egg, which should be fine to eat without cooking. Know when I added good fat

to my diet I felt more hydrated. The combo of fat and salt could have more

purpose than just preservation like be beneficial to potassium/sodium

balance and lessen water requirements. Have sodium issues myself but salted

meat, bacon never gave me the water retention salting other foods did.
