RIP, Robert Cameron. He wrote The Drinking Man’s diet back in the fifties, a low carb diet book that preceded Atkins by more than a decade. He made it to 98, and as far as I know he was a low-carber all the way. Naturally an obvious source of inspiration for a blog named beefandwhiskey.com. I never met you Robert, I wish I had. Cheers and save me a seat at the bar, would ya?

Update Dec. 5… I found this in an article on Mr. Cameron:
“One thing he attributed to his long life was the 5,000 rounds of golf he played at the San Francisco Golf Club,” said Tony Cameron [his son]. He also was a proponent of a daily drink, a martini or gin gimlet or single-malt scotch. “We were putting a little scotch in his ice cubes last week,” his son said.
I have the drinking and low carbing covered, guess I need to take up golf and aerial photography if I want to make it to 98….
