Susannah Mushatt Jones became the world's oldest person on Wednesday. She has loved bacon for more than a century. Jones is 115 years old, and the meat is the first thing to disappear from her plate every morning. The eggs go next.

Last month, we arrived five minutes late for breakfast in Jones' home, a sunbathed one-bedroom in the Vandalia Houses，New York. She'd already finished with the bacon. Jones is blind, and partially deaf.

She sleeps most of the day, with the radio or a daytime-TV game show playing in the background, though she probably can't hear it. These days, Jones mainly responds to the voice of her family members and friends. "Sometimes she'll ask a question," Freser said, "and sometimes she'll laugh to herself. She'll say, 'I was thinking about something someone did long, long ago.’"

Born July 6, 1899, Jones grew up the third oldest of 11 children in the Alabama countryside. Her parents worked as workers. After graduating from high school in 1922 ,she found work as a nanny for wealthy white families, and she traveled the country with them, from New Jersey, Vermont, California, and Mexico to Westchester, New York.

Throughout her life, Jones lived simply: no parties, smoking, or alcohol. Even coffee was too strong for her tastes. Most important, Jones has good genes. Her niece Judge told us that, according to the US Census, Jones' grandmother lived to be 117.
