Right, what you see there is that while there are fat, old people, there are no old, fat people.

An INCREDIBLY important distinction to make. Oreogres see fat, old people and assume their dumbasses will make it past 50.

I never even thought of it this way until now. Many of my fatherside relatives are military, were healthy, and buried around 82-97. My motherside relatives were not and were walruses. I say were as most have passed, around 60-76. It never clicked that what gave me time to know my great grandmother & father was WHEN they gained the weight.
