When i was a child, school taught me some facts very different from today's. A third of France's inhabitants had eaten meat only on very big occasions, like weddings and funeral gatherings, they ate well though. Veggies from garden, protein from walnuts, drinks and desserts from baies and dairy. i remember my mother marvelling at the fact we could buy bread instead of making it. Tofu did not exist in France then. But we had good varied food and a little meat only on Sundays,chicken, rabbit or stew. I still have a brother 104 years old, one sister 91, The older sister passed away 6 days before hitting 100. We were all healthy, tall, strong, and not fat, no acne, hardly any wrinkles to the end.
