I got an email this morning telling me that today's Oprah show is going to be visiting Loma Linda, CA (where my dad and grandma live!). They are going to be visiting the Loma Linda Market, which is a Seventh-day Adventist grocery store type place. They are going there to research why Adventists (who mainly are vegetarians) live so long. Then she is having some people from there come to Chicago to cook a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast!!!
This is just too cool! I even woke up my mom and stepdad this morning to call them and ask them to record it for me -- one of the pitfalls of not having cable anymore.
Vegetarians & CA'ians - watch Oprah today!

The cool thing was an island off Italy (going blank on the name - doh - Sardinia?) had similar results but they ate a lot of bread, cheese and wine? LOL. I'm like - I could go for that diet. I am not even sure if they were vegetarians. Though the rest of the places they looked at were more vegeterian & vegan.
The other key was a lot of daily low-impact and light exercise.
Hmmm, maybe you should move to Loma Linda.
