    My mom had the health of a person in their 80’s for decades.

    She finally died in her 80’s.

    My grandmother was obese and saw 84. But she barely left the house.

    Eating/fitness habits may not guarantee you live longer/shorter but they certainly attribute to living better. Thats a win even if the longevity question exists.

    oh, I see. So if some A-hole walks up to you and your family and tells your spouse and your daughter that they need to cut back on the deserts your response is going to be “thank you kind sir for caring.” ???

    I don’t want my own government telling me what to eat so I certainly ain’t listening to a bunch of unelected bozos.

    Thread is funny. If the ADA came out today and said you should use toothpaste with fluoride right wingers would accuse the government of poisoning Americans.

    Thanks for pointing out that for every person *said* to have died prematurely from being lazy and not eating right … one can provide a counter example.

    It’s almost as if the connection between diet and exercise and longevity is not cut and dried.

    Both my grandmothers were heavy meat, often fried, sedentary by definition and lived into their 90’s.

    Both my grandfathers were lifelong smokers and died in their 70’s, wherein they outlived their male counterparts at the time.

    At last check, we breathe in far more toxins than we ingest through food. I’m not suggesting that one diet is as good as any other, but I would suggest that we ascribe FAR too much relevance to the foods we eat.

    And the Libs would close down schools and mandate everyone use Crest.

    I can certainly buy that American right wingers want everybody to go very homoerotic.

    You think someone approaching your family on the street is the same as a recommendation from a governing body. Don't question my intelligence ever again with doozies like that.

    When it comes to eating healthy why do people always throw out some anecdote about their grandma who ate anything she wanted and lived a long time? Why don't they ever talk about grandma's friends who ate whatever they wanted and didn't live as long?

    identical as far as their relevant influence over my decisions. I trust any one of your pet cats more than the govt or random Karen.

    Live long or live well…..some people who choose to live long get hit by a bus. It’s all a crapshoot.
