There's David Murdoch, the 101-year-old chairman of Dole Foods, and his somewhat bizarre fruit-forward diet.

I eat the skins of bananas, the skins of oranges, the skins of pineapple.

There's the Blue Zones diet, which is taken from places in the world where people are said to routinely live to 100.
