Pearl Cantrell celebrated her 105th birthday this week. Having outlived three of her seven children as well as her husband, she’s lived a long and fruitful life. Her daughter Anno says that even after a 100 years, Pearl is still very active and loves to dance. Though the Texan woman’s optimistic outlook on life and jolly personality could be the cause of her longevity, Pearl has another theory: Bacon.
Quoth Pearl, “I love bacon and eat it everyday. I don’t feel as old as I am, that’s all I can say.”
