Warren Buffett's lifestyle at 94 will surprise you: Five cans of coke, Mcdonald's meal and no gym
Warren Buffet still lives in the same Omaha home he purchased in 1958 for $31,500 and regularly stops by McDonald's for breakfast Synopsis Warren Buffett is a fan of Mcdonald's meal, coke and ice-cream. The 94-year-old loves hot dogs, popcorn, cookies and candy. But what remains constant is his- Mcdonald's breakfast. While going to the office, Buffett stops by McDonald's and orders one of three items: two sausage patties, a sausage, egg and cheese or a bacon, egg and cheese. And it never costs more than $3.17. Warren Buffett has announced he will retire as chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year. The veteran investor, known as the Oracle of Omaha, told his company's annual meeting he would hand over the reins to Vice-Chairman Greg Abel. ADVERTISEMENT "I think the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive of the company at year end," the 94-year-old Buffet said.

Born on August 30, 1930, in Omaha, he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Columbia Business School. At the age of 94, Buffett continues to live with five cans of Coca-Cola a day, McDonald's breakfasts based on market moods, and no exercise.

ADVERTISEMENT During Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting last weekend, Buffett defended his junk-food diet and distaste for exercise. "For 94 years, I've been able to drink what I want, do what I want, and I've defied all the predictions of what should've happened to (Munger) and I never really exercised all that much. We were carefully preserving ourselves," he with two cans of Coca-Cola and a box of See's Candies on the table in front of him, the billionaire investor reflected on life, health, and happiness. "Bad things do happen," he said, "but overall, life has been pretty good." ADVERTISEMENT Buffett likes steaks and enjoys candies from See's, which Berkshire owns. He estimates that one-fourth of his calories come from Coca-Cola, a longtime Berkshire investment, according to a report in Reuters. Buffett's daily routine has remained unchanged even in his 90s. His diet famously includes hot dogs, fries, popcorn, cookies, and candy, unapologetically unhealthy favourites.

So I decided to eat like a six-year-old." He said to CNBC in 2023, "If somebody told me I would live an extra year if I ate nothing but broccoli and a few other things all my life instead of eating what I like, I would say take a year off the end of my life and let me eat what I like to eat." ADVERTISEMENT Warren Buffett acknowledged that neither he nor his late business partner, Charlie Munger, were ever enthusiastic about physical fitness. Speaking at the annual shareholder meeting, he reflected on how they largely avoided regular exercise throughout their lives. We preserved ourselves,' he said with a smile, implying that steering clear of intense physical activity may have contributed to their lasting physical stability. Buffett pointed to the wear and tear experienced by professional athletes as a cautionary example, suggesting that rigorous exercise can sometimes do more harm than good.

E. coli outbreak went unpublicized by FDA despite affecting 15 states: report
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is coming under fire for not publicizing its own report into an E. coli outbreak last year that spread across 15 states and infected 89 people, one of whom died, according to a report from TKTKT. The outbreak was linked to romaine lettuce — with the first case being recorded in St. Louis County in Missouri in early November 2024 — but the agency was unable to confirm the source in its investigation, which in a report it made in February. In total, 36 people were hospitalized, and 7 people developed Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious kidney disorder. Details about the death are unclear. The E. coli was 0157:H7 — a particularly dangerous strain that can result in severe illness. Mcdonald's Outbreak Linked To California Farm, Fda Investigating About 95% of those infected reported eating leafy greens and 88% of those could recall consuming romaine lettuce, according to the FDA report. The report came to light after NBC News sought a public records request connected with ongoing litigation. The FDA traceback led to a single grower and processor, with the romaine traced to a common ranch and lot. But the agency was unable to confirm the outbreak as connected to that location since there was no infected lettuce left by the time investigators learned where the E. coli was coming from. Read On The Fox News App Seven subclusters were identified, including at catered events, restaurants and a school. The FDA then concluded its final report in February but redacted the name of the common ranch it investigated as being the source. Additionally, despite the severity of the outbreak, the FDA did not publicly announce the result of its investigation. "There were no public communications related to this outbreak," the FDA said in its report. That is concerning, said Frank Yiannas, the former deputy commissioner of food policy and response at the FDA. "It is disturbing that FDA hasn't said anything more public or identified the name of a grower or processor," Yiannas told NBC News. He argued that by choosing not to identify the responsible party, the FDA withheld important information that could have helped consumers make informed choices about their purchases. He also noted that some individuals may have become ill during the outbreak without knowing the source, and that serious bacterial infections can lead to lasting health effects. Mcdonald's Hit With First Lawsuit Over E. Coli Outbreak The FDA, in a statement to NBC, said it names firms when there is enough evidence linking them to an outbreak and if there is "actionable advice for consumers, as long as naming the firm is not legally prohibited," a spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News. "By the time investigators had confirmed the likely source, the outbreak had already ended and there was no actionable advice for consumers." Fox News Digital reached out to the FDA for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Protect Yourself Against E. Coli And Know When To See A Doctor NBC reports that nine lawsuits have now been filed against California-based Taylor Farms, one of the country's largest producers of salads and fresh-cut vegetables. They argue in court documents that Taylor Farms sold "defective and unreasonably dangerous" food products. Taylor Farms denied it was the source of the outbreak in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Taylor Farms product WAS NOT the source of the referenced 2024 E. coli outbreak. We perform extensive raw and finished product testing on all our product and there was no evidence of contamination," the statement reads. "Any reporting that connects Taylor Farms products to these heartbreaking illnesses is dangerous, irresponsible and unfair to the impacted families." The company said that 0157:H7 comes from livestock, not from fresh produce. The FDA, Tayor Farms said, did not find the source of the outbreak because they are not authorized to inspect the beef industry. The company said that all of its leafy greens are subjected to a robust sampling and pathogen testing program. The outbreak came just weeks after a McDonald's E. coli outbreak was linked to Taylor Farms. Taylor Farms supplies McDonald's with its slivered onions used in its popular Quarter Pounder burger. The farm voluntarily recalled the onions after the outbreak infected more than 100 people, killing one person. A statement provided by a Taylor Farms spokesperson to KSBW at the time said, "We test both raw and finished products for pathogens and have found no traces of E. coli. We have never seen E. coliO157:H7 associated with onions in the past." "Out of an abundance of caution, Taylor Farms Colorado removed yellow onions from the market produced out of our Colorado facility. We continue to work closely with FDA and CDC during this ongoing investigation," the statement added. "Our priority is the health and wellness of our customers and consumers and the safety and quality of our products." While Taylor Farms' headquarters is in Salinas, it also has several facilities across the country, including one in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fox News' Jasmine Baehr contributed to this report.
