Who drops dead at 43 years of age?

119. Prissy health fascists?

I'm glad that this is not an issue for you.

Seems to have touched a nerve.

What is your health issue, if you are willing to share?

I've had people die all around me for the past ten years or so, mostly from completely non-preventable conditions unrelated to lifestyles. I had a heart attack, a mild one, fortunately, and I am fit and eat healthy and have no family history, either. There is no explanation. I still had a heart attack. I fine-tuned my diet, and am now mostly your much detested vegan, but I know that it is mostly Lipitor that keeps my total cholesterol at 88.

On the other hand, my father-in-law has been a self-inflicted near-invalid with Type 2 diabetes. He has been on dialysis for more than a decade, doesn't change his lifestyle one bit. He is only 9 years older than me, yet was essentially a cripple at the age I am now. My grandfather spent 15 years in bed due to emphysema related to a lifetime of smoking. He was a very unhappy man.
