Live to be 150

[Arc]

I have seen some really miserable existences for people in their early 90s...dont count me in for living to 150...besides who is going to pay for this...I think Logan's Run had the right idea Logan's Run (1976 film); - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Ssshhhh - don't give the government any ideas. Could be the fix for both healthcare and social security - all in one shot!

BTW - thought the movie was pretty good back in the day.

2. The calorie restriction couple that have been restricting their calories for 14 years. They supposedly weigh every piece of food that they eat. Really? I mean after the first several years I bet you pretty much know how much to put on your plate. Probably just for show.

Habit. I've been making coffee for over 30 years yet I still scoop it out with a teaspoon or a tablespoon (should they be referred to as "coffeespoons"?) instead of eyeballing it into the filter.

Walford's original research is probably on the right track but it's certainly subject to over-interpretation. I think some of the CR crowd have anal-retentive quantification behavior that makes nuclear-trained submariners look like happy-go-lucky carefree hedonists. (Maybe it's a side effect of the self-imposed starvation.) I just wish there was more/better data on the concept.
