I think the same way when I see advertising for "healthy" cereals, frankenfoods...and anything low-fat. We all used to think my Dad was crazy because he absolutely despised anything low-fat, loved his bacon and eggs, his raw milk, and especially his butter. He used to rant and rave whenever anyone tried to serve margarine. Now, to be absolutely honest, my father died of a stroke at 71...but he didn't darken the door of a hospital until his stroke. He lingered for about two-weeks and died a peaceful death. So...is 71 years a tragically short life? For a man that had high blood pressure from the time he was a young man, he was on and off medication for many years...until he finally refused anymore. He died at 71...not bad I would say. Many have lived longer, but with long life, comes more sorrow and pain. As he used to quote from one of his favorite Bible verses: Psalm 90:10
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
