Just an interesting observation, but my grandmother's daily diet consists of 1-2 liters of milk, close to a whole box of cinnamon toast crunch, a couple bananas and a half bag of pepperidge farm cookies. She refuses to eat any vegetables what so ever, though when I cook dinner she eats a little of whatever meat / side dish I make (usually just to feel part of the group, as she ends up eating more cereal and milk shortly after).

Her cognitive based abilities and memory are gone (mostly due to a 10 year depression since my grandfather passed away), but she is extremely physically healthy despite the stress she puts on herself from her depression and severe anxiety. She is 86 years old

FWIW, I don't agree with her diet, I just find it amazing she is so physically healthy given her diet and mental stress. You should see her face every time I try and get her to eat anything green.
