Michael Pollan and My Great Aunt

Michael Pollan helps me understand my great aunt. She lives in Belarus and is somewhere around 90. A couple decades ago, when most people die, she overcame a life threatening sickness.

A couple years ago we received a video of my great aunt. In it she is frying potato latkes in a generous dose of oil.

Recently, the oldest person in the world died at 115. She lived on a steady diet of bacon and fried chicken.
