Less than 2 lbs of low-fat manna per day :-)

Quite the contrary, I think his diet must have been high in carbohydrates
like fruit, rice, wheat, unleavened bread, veggies and legumes.

Speculation has it that his lipid profile was excellent.

Paul, he must have ate more than milk and honey. What about fruit, rice,
wheat, matzoh, vegetables, and legumes?

Milk and Honey

I read a book once called Jews, God and History. Very interesting. It
makes a credible argument for there being two Moses's. As far as what one
or the other or both ate.... fish, wine and very few cows. After all, no
one sacrificed cows - it was always sheep and the occasional offspring so we
can assume that cows were not valued to any great degree. Unlevened bread
was a hot seller but I suspect it was not made from overly processed
grains. I am unsure from a geographical point of view, which grains might
have been in ample supply as agriculture wasn't an industry supporting the
economy at that time (it is hard to manage crops when one is roaming for
years on end). Oh, an pork was not a part of their diet or was shellfish.
The avoidance of those meats was actually due to a higher propensity of
becoming ill which is actually true, expecially without GE ranges and ovens
with preset temperatures. Obviously, if there was wine, there were grapes
but I am struggling to determine what other fruits and veggies were
available. Surely there were some.

The Lepers in those days probably had syphillus and not Hansen's disease.
Adlutery was defined as a man having intercourse with another man's wife.
The contamination of blood lines was the ultimate sin in a nomadic society
where no one was really from 'anywhere'. Rather, they were decendents of a
blood line. That's why we are bored silly at Easter Week masses where they
go through the who begat who routine for seemingly hours on end.

I do know that Moses and his comrades did not hang out at bars drinking low
carb beer and eating nacho's with cheese and fried chicken wings. They
almost never at anywhere where they were asked, "Would you like fries with
that?" or "Did you want to supersize your coke for 39 cents more?"

I think you hit upon something quite relevant to his longevity: Exercise!
Aside from a diet obviously devoid of trans fat, he was always walking,
walking, and more walking. All that walking must have contributed to an
excellent HDL level and keeping the body slim.

Two Moses's? Never heard that.

Numbers 21:16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof
the Lord spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them
water.

Consider also that the meats of their day were far different beasts than
todays inbred, feedlot, artificially growth stimulated, mass produced
poultry, fish, mutton, beef and pork.

As an aside, I find the religious "rules" of Fish Friday and such
fascinating. It's believed to have much more to do with food safety than
religious ideals.

I think it would be safe to say that Moses found the "Juice of the Grape" to
be a staple.
It was safer than drinking contaminated water.

Hold on here Brad. They didn't have fish oil capsules in those days.
Oatmeal? Nah, they didn't have any of those packaged cereals way back then.

Jeez, you sure go around pushing alcohol. You own a winery or something?

Moses had beer? Kewl!

Exercise was certainly critical but the holiness factor is important.
Basically, the way you lived longer in those days was to avoid disease.
Whether they were genetically blessed or just blessed is up for a spiritual
debate that I am not up for but... all those prescriptions you have in your
medicine cabinet were not available. A little heart disease, infection,
diabetes took people out of the picture.

I also wonder about the heat. Surely it was hotter than we can imagine and
they dressed in a most unusual way. I can't imagine Moses et al walking
around in gym shorts and tank tops trying to stay cool in the heat.
