Interesting article ... this item is fortunately not true of Baby Boomers!
True, Instead of spending quality research time/money on things that will actually kill them like cancer or Alzheimer's, Boomers wasted their time by coming up with things like Viagra, botox, Ritalin, etc. and all their useless studies like How French Fries will kill you, How smokers kids stand up in shopping carts, etc.
Are you serious? Geez, I'm so thrilled my tax dollars paid for THAT study ...
I don't expect baby boomers as a group to live much longer than the previous generation. They know more ABOUT good health than their parents did, but that doesn't mean they make healthy lifestyle choices.
It's also not inconceivable that the anti-life, socialist society they've constructed will bump them off at the first sign of declining health. "We're sorry, but we've decided you have no 'quality of life' anymore ..."
