I believe he is a vegetarian, but no-one's perfect.

He doesn't look anywhere near his age , there is hope for us all , truly amazing man :)

49! You're just a kid, Bilt4!

It's inspiring to know that he started late, so there's hope for all of us in a similar situation.  

I notice that he was a life-long farmer, so probably never a couch potato.  I think his diet will have been modest but very healthy.  Happy Birthday to him (same age as my dad would have been, had the gaspers not done for him)
