LOL--too true! What you said just made me think about a discussion my dh and I had. We were thinking about how it seems some people think they are going to cheat death if they just eat the perfect combonation of foods and vitamins and exercise. Not gonna happen. One probably will go quicker with a steady diet of rich sauces or fast food, but the end result will be the same within a few years.

glory, Was I cheating death when I switched from low fat to low carb and lost 40 pounds? Was I cheating death when my cholesterol plummeted from 318 to 221? Was I cheating death when my triglycerides fell from 495 on my low fat diet to 66 on low carb? Was I cheating death when my hypoglycemia and low level depression was instantly cured? Was I cheating death when my body fat fell from 43% to 19.6%?

It might be a big joke to you, but an unhealthy diet and lifestyle DOES cause death and noone serious would claim otherwise. It is the LEADING cause of coronary heart disease in this country and has caused an epidemic of obesity and diabetes II in this country.

You sound like someone who is probably on a bad diet who is trying to justify or minimize the ill effects of such a diet.
