“Warren Buffett, 92, eats a McDonald’s burger for breakfast and drinks five cokes a day…

And your point is?

He owns a bunch of fast food restaurants, what do you think he’s going to say? Plus he probably has about 2 dozens doctors analyzing his every heart beat. You try eating the same thing and see how long you live. Again, Americans eating and living like they have free healthcare lol

He holds a massive stake of shares in both Coca Cola and McDonalds. Of course he’s going to tell you that’s what he eats all the time.

what 7 year old eats that? are you american?

He doesn't own any McDonald's.

That’s correct. Berkshire hasn’t owned any in many years. They did own over $1B in MCD in the nineties, which was significant back then, so it’s possible he made up the story then but he has maintained his love of burgers in much more recent interviews as well.

His diet is aligned with his investment interest in some companies, but he doesn’t personally promote everything he owns and personally promotes some things he doesn’t own, so it’s hardly obvious he’s just lying out of self interest.

Go to one of these old folks homes, at a certain point you'd suggest ice cream and cheeseburgers - they're eating basically zero and wasting away.

This has been well known for many years. Genes are mighty powerful. Many folks over 100 can tell you they smoked and had a shot of Jack every day. But they just have good genes. It really is that simple. Medical care has little to do with it IMO. Modern medicine doesnt have too much evidence based treatment for magically making you live longer. Money can buy transplants and better surgeons. Not so much better prophylactic care. That's statins and screenings and good luck.

Now he probably does eat this crap but also the wife likely forces some fiber and quality food on him from time to time is my guess.

He may not "own a mcdonalds" but the 5 million shares he owns (possibly sold recently?) might make him a fan!

He is likely an outlier. He already lived past 90. But is McD that bad for you? It beats eating sugar garbage.

Only a matter of time...

There are worse vices for sure

1) Concerning the five cokes, they're diet cokes if I remember correctly. So zero sugar, zero calories.

2) If the rest of his diet is at least correct, in terms of calories intake, gets enough vitamins, proteins etc. the morning McDonald's burger is not going to be a huge deal.

3) He has access the the best medical care whenever needed.

Buffet could rip ass in somebody's face and that person would twist themselves into a pretzel to try and present it as wisdom.

You do know what the average life expectancy was before modern medicine don’t you?

Hey, if you are 92 you can eat and drink what you want. My grandfather had several "Scotch & Waters per day at 84 and he never exercised after age 50. You can live a dying death if that is what you choose.

And neither one of them looks a day over 150. Now he should share all the other stuff he takes. How often does he undergo a full blood transfusion with some 18 year old Quaker?

What a survivor does is not at all proof of what to do to survive. What is interesting is to know what those NOT surviving did. We know a lot about that and too many did as Warren Buffet. This is the same as during the war when UK inspected the planes returning for damages. They reinforced armour on those places, but it had no effect since it was the damages to the planes NOT returning they should have had access to.
