[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this advice only works if your grandparents were pre-war Japanese people. My grandmother was born in 1920 and raised in Missouri. She never did any exercise intentionally in her life, wore heels everyday for 20 years of teaching and spent the last 10 years of her life sitting in a wheelchair (which she could not move herself) because her feet were mangled and her leg muscles were waisted. Girls weren’t allowed to play sports in school when she was a kid and a teacher. She ate a salad with every dinner: a wedge of iceberg lettuce, a wedge of tomato and blue cheese dressing (sometimes cucumber). My great grandmother died of a heart attack at 56. She probably ate vegetables from her garden, but I’m sure they were cooked or canned with lots of salt. I’m doing my best to improve that record, just as my mother did when raising us. Some traditions are worth letting go of. I like Michael Pollen’s advice to “eat food, mostly vegetables, not too much.”[/quote]
