What *Did* S. Jay Olshansky Eat Yesterday?

I am compelled to direct your attention to yet another entertaining high-quality post from Methuselah Foundation fundraiser and calorie restriction practitioner April Smith.

So I was expecting to walk up to Jay Olshansky after the debate and start a happy chat about how much better everything would be if lots and lots of people would do at least moderate CR. I pointed out that CR will get us most of the benefits he outlines in his three goals, and that Luigi Fontana is studying CR'd humans and finding excellent health results. ... Dr. Olshansky then said, "But what you're on is an experimental diet."

"So is whatever you ate today," I answered.

As you might have gathered, April has been at the BIOMEDEX show alongside Aubrey de Grey to talk up the Mprize for anti-aging research. I eagerly await video and transcripts of the debate between de Grey and Olshansky...
