Plant based diet.

The Blue Zones are apparently the places in the world where people have the most longevity. Somewhere lost around my home is a copy of one of the books that discuss this phenomenon. Places like Okinawa, some place on the Greek islands, the 7th Day Adventist colony in California... I forget the rest. At any rate the commonalities appear to be diet (low but not NO meat), no highly processed junk, and a sense of long term community. So it isn't an actual set of recipes per se.

Oh yes - I saw a TV doc. about that although they didn't call it the blue zones. I think TV Chef Jamie Oliver did a series about that too.
