The article doesn't say this at all. It says that she used to eat more eggs - 3 raw, plus an omelette at lunch and chicken at dinner. She had cut down to 2 raw eggs a day and had added in some biscuits.
The poster could easily be correct.
- notyourwork 10y agoIt seems you are also having trouble reading the article so let me paste a quote directly from the article to help you: "But it was also down to a rather unusual diet of three eggs - two raw - each day for more than 90 years." I'm not sure how else to interpret this statement.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoYou should read further. It goes on to say the rest: It was a regime she took up as a young woman, after the doctor diagnosed her with anaemia shortly after World War One. She had cut down to just two eggs a day, and a few biscuits recently. Her doctor of 27 years, Carlo Bava, had told AFP news agency that she rarely ate vegetables or fruit. "When I met her, she ate three eggs per day, two raw in the morning and then an omelette at noon, and chicken at dinner." I did misquote the number of eggs, but not the fact that she had cut down on the amount she was eating.
