Warren Buffett still runs Berkshire Hathaway without a drop of green juice in sight. He takes no supplements, cryotherapy or cold plunges, but just burgers, fries, and a whole lot of Coca-Cola. Entrepreneur Craig Brockie stirred up X after breaking down Buffett’s bare-bones wellness routine-or lack thereof. “Warren Buffett spends $0 on longevity hacks,” he wrote.
Buffett’s daily routine reads more like a 3rd grader’s birthday party menu than a Silicon Valley tycoon's meal plan, as it includes five cans of Coke, regular stops at McDonald’s, and the occasional Dairy Queen treat. Buffett himself admitted that he eats like a 6-year-old kid in an interview with Fortune back in 2015. He said, “I eat like a 6-year-old. If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I do it every day.”
Buffett's reason to ‘eat like a 6-year-old’
In the same Fortune interview, Warren said, “I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among 6-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a 6-year-old.” Buffett’s breakfast is not just about taste; it is actually market-driven.
If the stock market is up? He celebrates with a $3.17 bacon, egg & cheese biscuit. If the market is flat, he prefers a $2.95 sausage, egg & cheese McMuffin. And if it is down? He goes low-budget with $2.61 for two sausage patties, he revealed in the 2017 HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, as reported by Nasdaq.

Buffett's secret to long life
Back in 2017, Buffett told CNBC that the secret to his longevity was eating whatever he wanted to and, of course, his favourite, Coca-Cola. He said, “I think happiness makes an enormous amount of difference…in terms of longevity. I’m happier when I’m eating hot fudge sundaes or drinking Coke.”
