I don't know, but I tell every out of shape enlisted kid that works for me "you never see fat 70 year olds," (because they're dead) and I see a lot of fat 50 year olds in America.

Doyle Brunson is the exception.

why do people want to live that old. it is depressing as hell.

Bush Sr. is in his eighties and in good health and still sky diving. It's not that depressing. He could be our first ex-president to make it over 100.

That opens up the can of worms of whether we would say young people who take ritalin are in bad health.

If individuals had to pay for ritalin out of pocket, maybe very few patients would use it. It's big bucks for drug companies and all other health care companies. Ever notice that in the US doctors never recommend herbal cures. No money in it. Can't get a patent.
