NATION: WHAT DID BILLY GRAHAM EAT TO LIVE TO BE 99?

Billy Graham, the world-renowned evangelical preacher who died Wednesday, grew to love a few cherished foods over his 99 years.

On his birthday, including his last one in November, his family brought him his favorite: Lemon cake with lard icing.

“He loves those cakes — but it has to have the lard icing,” said his son Franklin Graham, leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

There was also his favorite meal of canned Vienna sausages and pork and beans, also out of the can.

The elder Graham had told a crowd in 2013 he might live to 100. His family reported ‘stable’ health in November around his 99th birthday.

The younger Graham went vegan at the start of 2017, before giving it up in the most spectacular fashion.

But as we all know.  Billy Graham consumed the Bread of Life most all his life – That gave him life.
