The truth is out folks!

It turns out that the key to a long life is actually bacon.

If the woman who has lived in three centuries says it, it's hard to argue with that statement.

Susannah Mushatt Jones, who turned 116 this July, says she eats bacon every day for breakfast and continues to snack on the crunchy delight throughout the day, she tells the New York Post.

A niece of Susannah Mushatt Jones' holds the Guinness World Records certificate declaring Ms. Jones the world's oldest living woman as of July 3, 2015.

An aide at the Vandalia Senior Center in Brooklyn told the Post that Jones will eat bacon "all day long."

In fact, Jones loves bacon so much, her birthday cake this year was adorned with fondant bacon, reports the New York Times.

While bacon is Jones' weakness, her bad habits have seemed to stop there.

According to the supercentenarian's family members, Jones has never partied, worn makeup or even had a mammogram.

"I never drink or smoke," the supercentenarian said at her birthday celebration. Jones has also never dyed her hair.

Although bacon is her go-to meal, Jones told Guinness World Records she surrounds herself with love and positive energy. This is what she truly believes has helped her live a long and happy life.

Some delicious crispy breakfast meat didn't seem to hurt, either.

I knew Grumpy Old Men was right!

Grandpa: What the... what the hell is this?

John: That's lite beer.

Grandpa: Gee, I weigh ninety goddamn pounds, and you bring me this sloppin' foam?

John: Ariel's got me on a diet because the doc said my cholestorol's a little too high.

Grandpa: Well let me tell you something now, Johnny. Last Thursday, I turned 95 years old. And I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack?

John: Bacon.

Grandpa: Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner. Now according to all of them flat-belly experts, I should've took a dirt nap like thirty years ago. But each year comes and goes, and I'm still here. Ha! And they keep dyin'. You know? Sometimes I wonder if God forgot about me. Just goes to show you, huh?

John: What?

Grandpa: Huh?

John: Goes to show you what?

Grandpa: Well it just goes... what the hell are you talkin' about?

John: Well you said you drink beer, you eat bacon and you smoke cigarettes, and you outlive most of the experts.

Grandpa: Yeah?

John: I thought maybe there was a moral.

Grandpa: No, there ain't no moral. I just like that story. That's all. Like that story.

The key to a long life is to be someone whose genetics allow them to have a long life. I think maybe you can shorten your life by treating your body badly enough, but you can't extend it significantly by treating you body super carefully either. It's not that bacon is the miracle food that increases lifespan so much as it isn't bad enough for you to decrease your lifespan when eaten in moderation.

Maybe you should try shutting your whore mouth next time you think about saying bacon isn't a miracle food.
