Dive bars in rural Michigan.
Few bars are open early these days. It was different when we had factory jobs. 中国现在也有早上就喝醉的人了

+1YES! Most folks LOVE anything that can turn into BACON!!! BACON!!! BACON!!! Why does everything people love turn out BAD for us!? Another of natures cruel tricks.
Everything that tastes good is bad for us, and everything that tastes bad is good for us.

In Southern Maryland some bars used to open at 6am so the construction guys could have steady hands and grab a six pack or pint to last until lunch.
I agree. The local bars are filled with elderly alcoholics. Many are outliving their "healthy" sons.

As mentioned on BITOG, I recently sustained an injury from degeneration and a relatively low torque event, resulting in a complete tear of the quadriceps tendon on my left leg. The orthopedic surgeon drilled a hole in my patella to snuggly suture the tendon so it can reattach.
Although already a flawed health nut, I am now more obsessed than ever with each calorie going towards healing. Center to this is strict adherence to only consuming certain oils as part of my diet, namely extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil and fish oil.
Going anti-inflammatory is a very good idea. Read labels carefully, as there are now plenty of products which adhere to these principles.
--more fiber (supplement !)
--less saturated fat (drizzle evoo !)
--less sugar (monk fruit powder !)
--quality protein (bison burgers !)
--eat lots of leafy greens (popeye !)
There are plenty of ways for food to still be savory, spicy, tasty.
I also take a rather esoteric matrix of four or five supplements.

Anywhere there are factories or mills that work a third shift, the bars open early for the breakfast crowd.
Genetics play a major role in health and longevity. I remember my Grandfather's diet. He lived to be 88, smoked till he was about 77, was never over weight and was in great shape. . . He worked full time as a laboror until he was 76. He wasn't in any hospital as a patient or seen by a doctor till he fell and broke his hip at 81. He lived on deli meat (sandwiches) , little Debbies and Duke beer. His breakfast of choice was Little Debbie snack cakes and a beer. He was German and very fond of his beer. I can't say I agree with his choice however. I still remember visiting him in the hospital recovering with his new hip. His doctor allowed us to bring him one can of beer everyday.
Protein and fat. That's the standard American diet. There's an obesity pandemic. I don't think I need a citation here. Just open your eyes. US has a 40% obesity rate. Abysmal. Skyrocketing child obesity rates. Child abuse.
Protein the big scam.
Historically healthy populations.
Potatoes for the win.

Huh?
No.
The cause is not that, it's too much of all three, but the standard American diet.............is junk and carbohydrates by far.
This sounds like urban myth. Eating a diet that consists entirely of sugar, yes potatoes and bread are virtually all sugar, is terribly unhealthy, even for Russian and Polish peasants.

Watching old American films and television shows readily reveals that very thing. A camera pan of NYC or LA or anywhere USA, really, shows a trim populace during the 40’s and into the 70’s or perhaps the 80’s too. Nowadays? Not so much. FAT FAT FAT!!!

No, the SAD (standard American diet) that makes people fat and gives them diabetes is carbohydrates.
Junk science in the 50s and 60s told people they should avoid fats, which caused a mass switch to high carbs. This has caused a devastating effect on the population's health.

Big Mac nutrition: 406 calories of fat and protein, 180 calories carbs. The standard American diet, fat and protein.

For me, if I only ate meat protein and animal fats I’d be as thin as a rail.

You are ignoring all the highly processed carb based crap people eat these days. Care to offers us the nutritional facts on a bag of potato chips or a large soda?
You need to do a little biochem reading, I used to have some thoughts like that, but it goes deeper.
What does the body do with 45g of carbs down the hatch just like that? Think metabolically.
We have to also remember, as an Italian, where carbs are everywhere, it's also from cucina povera. Pasta and potatoes were staples in impoverished communities.
