I don't suppose it is unrealistic to imagine humans living to 200 in the next 50-100 years, although I am not sure I would want to. It's interesting how little emphasis is put on diet. As long as we fill our lives and stomachs with saturated fat, we can't expect to reach those extended periods of life. What do you think about the importance of diet? Overemphasized? Underemphasized?
