It is interesting that him, and other rich men like Kurzweil are choosing plant-base diets instead of the Taubes, paleo crowd-pushed meat and fat diets. They can't be both right.
Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full. Laugh often. Play (physically) more than occasionally. Drink and be merry. Stop worrying. You'll live forever.
And even if you only live a short while, it's better than living a boring life for a slightly longer while.

My bet is that neither is right... Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full. Laugh often. Play (physically) more than occasionally. Drink and be merry. Stop worrying. You'll live forever.

“I went back in my mind: what am I not eating enough of?” he told me. Definitely not fruits and vegetables: he crams as many as 20 of them, including pulverized banana peels and the ground-up rinds of oranges, into the smoothies he drinks two to three times a day Wait, banana peels?

Well, I'm not so sure about that. Most of the people I know who work to live really healthy have the guts to go counter-cultural/counter-mainstream in other ways too. They live good lives filled with adventure, have lots of fun, live healthier, and on average die later. Smoking is cool - I used to love good tobacco. Red meat is amazing. I used to love good steaks. But funny enough, the net pleasure you have after quitting that stuff doesn't really go down. It's hard to do, but you really do live better across the board if you're willing to put in the initial willpower and sacrifices.

Sadly it is not so simple for an increasingly large number of people suffering from diabetes, obesity, arterial and heart diseases.
