"Emma Morano, thought to be the world's oldest person and the last to be born in the 1800s, celebrated her 117th birthday on Tuesday, still swearing by her diet of two raw eggs a day. Morano was born in November 1899, four years before the Wright brothers first took to the air. Her life has spanned three centuries, two World Wars and over 90 Italian governments..."She has never eaten much fruit or vegetables. Her characteristic is that she always eats the same thing, every day, every week, every month and every year."

And probably 117 birthday cakes, one every year.

How in the world would you survive on just 2 eggs a day?

I doubt that is ALL she survives on (although she did used to eat 3 apparently but her appetite in her latter years has waned a bit).


As usual, we don't get to know the full story - just enough to see the surface, provoke controversy and not all of that is well written even.

And ladyfingers! Don't forget the ladyfingers under the pillow.

Another story said she also ate a little minced meat and pasta each day. Every day the same.
