This pocket of health and longevity had the largest number of centenarians in the world. Google Blue Zones. Of course now, with KFC etc. moving in, health especially in the young Okinawans is on the downhill slide. Sad.

I was worried about turning orange but I did not. I did this to see if it was possible for me to eat on $50 for a month, it is and I did, and still love eating sweet potatoes. They are a local crop here in eastern NC and I can get a #40 box of number two's for $6 from a farmer I know. During the 30 days I ended up eating 6 boxes.
