^oh she's dead now, poor girl. Imagine living that long... in captivity!!!
meateaters tend to say lots of things... vegetarians die younger... there's no such thing as global warming... sadam hussein has weapons of mass destruction...
Doesn't make it true.
"When a vegetarian, Marie-Louise Meilleur, was named as the world’s oldest person at 122, the usual hunt for the secret of her longevity ensued. Was it hard work, religion, having a lot of friends, a good man, a life of abstinence, being a non-smoker?
For the French-Canadian woman who took up fencing at 85, smoked until she was 95, still rode a bicycle at 100 and made a rap CD at 121, the reason for living so long was put down to a vegetarian diet, supplemented by modest amounts of olive oil, port wine and chocolate.
Meilleur, who died six years ago, was the latest in a long line of holders of the title as the world’s oldest person whose diets have been exclusively or largely vegetarian. Every now and then remarkably old people such as her emerge, although usually they are found among geographically isolated agrarian peoples whose diets are primarily vegetarian, such as the Hunzakuts of northern Pakistan and the mountain-dwellers of Turkey.
The notion that vegetarian diets lead to a healthier and longer life has been further supported from research based on World War II experiences of people in Scandinavia, where dietary restrictions virtually wiped meat off the menu. The loss of meat led to a drop in the mortality rate, and when diets returned to normal after the war, so too did the death rate."

eating meat and vegetables proportionally = long life!
Donald Watson, founder Of Veganism, lived to 95.
He was vegan for 60 years of his life.
95 is pretty impressive!! :-)
