Have you ever seen a fat person that is 80 year old. Nope. Fat people mostly die off before 70 or if they happen to make to 70 they are no longer self propelled.
I can think of at least three cultures that have large people that live to be very old.
Not in America. Sure, there are exceptions but when I'm in the hospital for my cancer all the people at about 80 are slender. The fat ones at 50-60 or so are done, life is a scooter or walker and life is miserable.
So, if you're 40 or so and fat don't worry. Keep smoking and drinking and eating fast food. It won't catch up to you for at least 10 years and then you'll struggle to do anything. But don't worry, 10 years is a long time until you look back.
