A woman who has lived through two world wars, 21 prime ministers and who has just celebrated her 102nd birthday puts her longevity down to "eating no veg".
Mary Doherty, who lives at Urmston Cottage care home in Greater Manchester, said the only vegetables she eats are potatoes, peas and onions.
Mary used to work in her family's bakery and loves good home cooking. Her friend Maggie Redmond, also a resident at the Cottage, will be celebrating her 102nd birthday in June. When asked what she would like as a suitable present, Maggie replied," a Chippendale".

Isn't this like saying that one eats no meat....except beef, lamb, and pork.

Some of the people who live the longest don't particularly eat very healthy or go about their lives in a healthy way. There are other factors involved, such as heredity, that I believe. I know my great grandma was terrible - I eat much "better" that she does. She died at age 95 - smoked, drank anything, etc....

Vegetables are great, most anyway - maybe not marrow, but marrow is extinct now like the dodo, the dodo was a flightless bird which ate vegetables. Funny isn't it how you don't see marrow anymore, but I guess corgettes were the 'fun size' version.

I don't understand why this thread is called vegetables are bad for you. That old nosebag has done well to get past a century, I'm sure she didn't play hockey so why doesn't the post say 'Hockey Is Bad For You' - anyway - I like veggies but in Hong Kong you have to give them a wash because they are full of chemicals.

Happy birthday to granny, if she gets the Chippendale it will be her last.

FUCK the Chippendales anyway, all their good for is old grannies. You wouldn't get Asian women saying goodbye to their husbands for a night out piss up with the girls to watch male strippers, no they should know their place - and that's in the kitchen boiling vegetables.

Have you told Sandra that yet?

^ She's never heard of marrow, the only marrow here is bone marrow which she likes to suck.

:tapedshut:

Now don't bother.

I can't believe this came from the BBC, what is the fooking world coming to when a BBC report can contain....

Standards are certainly slipping. How can you believe these ****s about the Iraq war and what Madonna is going to wear next week if they can't get the fuckin facts straight in a 2 paragraph report about an old dear who eats some vegetables:confused:

Next up....Smoking is good for you.....old man lives to 105 whilst smoking no cigarettes a day

^ You've only just discovered that you can't trust the BBC or, for that matter, CNN or FOX either.

Go to YouTube (if you can yet) and type in Peace, Properganda and the Promised Land and you'll see just why.

i dont trust youtube either. especially if they misspell propaganda

I always thought veggies very nice and good for you

but bad for everyone else nearby

Frankie like veg.
