Martha Stewart's Last Meal: A Simple yet Satisfying Finish to Life
In a candid conversation with the hosts of "50+ & Unfiltered", 84-year-old business mogul and media personality Martha Stewart revealed her plans for what she wants to be her last meal on Earth - scrambled eggs, nothing more. The farm owner from Bedford, New York would even source the eggs directly from her own chickens, emphasizing that they are indeed the most delicious things in existence.
Not a surprising twist given Stewart's history of simplicity and attention to detail when it comes to entertaining her guests. This preference extends beyond her dinner parties; she has maintained this same choice for what might be considered one of the final meals one is destined to consume. Back in 2012, Stewart shared this desire with Piers Morgan on CNN, revealing that a simple good meal from fresh eggs and a garden salad would make up her entire repast.
Stewart's approach to death as well has been an interesting thread throughout her life. She wishes to be buried in the same location where she lays her beloved horses to rest, only this time with her body added into the soil as fertilizer for her crops - essentially turning herself into compost. The idea of being interred in a traditional casket or tombstone, according to Stewart, is off-putting and an unnecessary expense.
When pressed on this decision, Stewart made it clear that any sort of pomp or ceremony would be out of the question, calling the practice of those items nothing more than "a racket". Her vision for her final meal, much like her approach to life and death, seems rooted in simplicity, and a deep appreciation for the everyday.

! She's showing us that it's okay to keep things simple, even in the end. Like, we don't need a bunch of fancy stuff to make life (or death) worth living. It's all about appreciating those little things and finding joy in everyday moments. And let's be real, who doesn't love fresh eggs from their own chickens? 
It's like she's saying, "Hey, life is short, but a good meal doesn't have to be complicated!" So, can we all take a cue from Martha and simplify our lives (and maybe even our last meals) just a bit? 
. And don't even get me started on the whole "no pomp or ceremony" thing - I feel like there might be some emotional baggage behind that one? I mean, isn't it normal for people to want to say goodbye or celebrate a life with a bit of fanfare? Anyway, I guess when you're 84 and have made your mark in the world, you can just go out on your own terms... but still, it's kinda surprising she chose eggs over something more like her famous roasted chicken recipe 
. Simple pleasures can be so satisfying, you know? I mean, who needs fancy restaurants when you've got fresh eggs from your own chickens? It's all about appreciating the little things in life, right? And I love how she wants to turn herself into compost - talk about reducing waste and living in harmony with nature

. I mean, scrambled eggs from her own chickens? That's dedication to simplicity! I can respect that. It's not about all the extra fuss and expense, but just enjoying what's real and delicious. And her approach to death, well... turning herself into compost? It's a weirdly beautiful idea
