My grandmother drank a handle of Jim Beam every week, two packs of Pall Malls a day and looooove greseay rare ribeye. I never saw her eat salad once my entire life. She lived to 94.

My dad, her son went the other way, non snoker, moderate drinker and eventually sober, marathon runner, ate apples every day, huge salads and lean meats. He died at 70.

It's 95% your individual genetics.

Every week I make a big lentil soup or veggie chili or minestrone. It’s always something vegetarian that is full of veggies and beans. We eat that usually for one dinner and a couple of lunches. I also make a veggie/bean salad of some sort. That gets me at least 4-5 healthy fiber and nutrient rich meals. I always try to start meals based on veggies.

Yep.

One of my grandmothers lived entirely on booze, prescription drugs, and the occasional hard boiled egg. She lived to 99.

My other grandmother never smoked or drank and only ate fresh food from her own farm. She’s 100 and going strong.

All the men die young of heart attacks.

Beans are more starch/sugar than protein.

Nothing can replace meat but maybe change where you buy it. Crunchy granola people buy only local/farm raised organic meat not tortured slaughterhouse animals but this is expensive but you can find steals and bargains by going to farmers markets and talking to people.

It takes lot of effort to be a real crunchy granola shopper

Quinoa can replace meat. It has all the essential amino acids/complete protein.
