Good stuff
Well, *I* thought her piece was damn good. The upper-middle class in this country is so self-involved, so narcissistic, that this kind of crazy self-control becomes acceptable. Weighing out arugula! Every quote by a CR person made me think, "what do they want to do with their extra years"? No sex, no (or very little) wine, no strenuous exercise, no good food, no children. No children, for fuck's sake. because they want to live forever. What selfishness!
And, what these CR assholes seem to ignore is that even we Americans are living longer. Heart disease is less frequent, people live longer and better with certain cancers, many diseases are preventable.
Fanaticism in the service of longevity is no excuse.
