Is there a "perfect diet"?

Is there one "perfect diet" for good health and longetivity? Does it
vary from person to person? Please share your opinions here.

I dunno, but I got a protein shake you are more than welcome to try.

My guess is no. And even if the greatest nutrition researchers in the world
came to an agreement on a perfect diet, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't follow it
100% of the time. I enjoy eating a wide variety of foods, and if it means I
will live a few years less I am willing to accept that. I am content to live
an active life at a healthy weight.

A good diet will have to make accomadations to food allergies, available
foods, individual tastes, and lifestyle. I recently saw a television show
where the nutritionist develop a diet for a woman who was on the go a lot,
worked long hours, and often late into the night. The nutritionist
recommended a great diet involving much food preparation. She even showed
the woman how to cook the food. But that woman will never follow the
nutritionist's advice, because it doesn't match her lifestyle.
