  Real talk.

    Charlie would scorn this "real talk."

  The interesting thing about this is that Buffett himself has never really had a reputation for taking care of his body in terms of getting exercise or eating well.

    At 94, there have probably been a dozen contradictory versions of what "eating well" meant to a large consensus of people. There should be a lot of skepticism for any particular version of "healthy" is when it comes to diet. "Variety and moderation" is probably good enough advice for most people without specific health conditions.

      Yes, but Buffett’s diet has been famously bad and well documented in the media. Cookies and ice cream for breakfast according to one article on LinkedIn by Bill Gates. Daily McDonalds, hamburgers, and a lifelong love of (addiction to?) Coca Cola. So while the definition of eating well has always changed, I’m not sure it was ever what Buffett reportedly does. And if Buffett’s diet is actually as reported, he is likely an outlier in terms of typical effects of such a diet into old age. “If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I do it every day.” https://fortune.com/well/article/warren-buffett-birthday-longevity-habits/ https://fortune.com/well/article/warren-buffett-birthday-lon... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/warren-buffetts-upside-down-business-philosophy-bill-gates https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/warren-buffetts-upside-down-b...

    I saw him at the Berkshire meeting about 25 years ago and he did walk very briskly. He probably figured he could exercise that way and get places quicker. He was always good at thinking that sort of stuff out.

  That is a very powerful analogy.
