I read a year ago how US expats are giving up their citizenships because the dual tax laws are so hard to comply with. I believe this is a link to the article I read. http://www.newsmax.com/US/taxes-citizenship-election-2012/2012/04/17/id/436114

I hope her life is filled with happy memories. That's a seriously long time to be alive!

@ironchef The alternative to "messing with the food supply" is to let poor people starve because food becomes unaffordable. There are other alternatives like China's 1 child policy or other even worse ideas.

According to a life expectancy study posted at http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005140.html our life expectancy has been going up for the past 40 years or so you mention.

As an adult, this is the internet so I can only presume, you are free to make your own choices as to what to put in your body. Organic is great if you can afford it. Growing your own food is even better if you live where it's possible. But you had the opportunity to survive to adulthood only because there was enough food for you.
