Mon May 05 13:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Buffett Defends Junk Food Diet at Berkshire Hathaway Meeting
**OMAHA, NE –** Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, 94, doubled down on his famously unhealthy diet at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Saturday. Surrounded by Coca-Cola, See’s Candies, and acknowledging his fondness for McDonald’s and other junk food, Buffett cited his longevity as evidence that his habits haven’t harmed him.
“At 94, I’ve been able to drink whatever I like,” Buffett said, holding up a can of Coke. He pointed to his late business partner, Charlie Munger, who lived to 99, as further proof. The billionaire investor also joked about his and Munger’s lack of exercise, attributing their health to “carefully preserving ourselves.” He even suggested that the physical toll on professional athletes demonstrates the potential downsides of excessive exercise.
Buffett’s well-known fondness for Coca-Cola, Dairy Queen, and other less-than-healthy options is reflected in Berkshire Hathaway’s investment portfolio, which includes major stakes in Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz, as well as outright ownership of See’s Candies and Dairy Queen. He previously stated that happiness contributes significantly to longevity, and that for him, happiness includes indulging in his favorite treats. The comments drew laughter from the audience and highlight the enduring contrast between Buffett’s lifestyle and conventional health advice.
