My parents, baby boomers themselves, are starting to see the effects of this. Funeral after funeral of friends and family dying in their early to late 60's - almost always due to heart disease, liver failure or some sort of cancer.
Every time I join them it's the same "he seemed so healthy/ it was so unexpected/ she was gone so quickly".
In my head I can't help but think "he ate nothing but meat/ she drank a bottle of wine a night/ they haven't broken a sweat in years".
- drdeadringer 8y ago> dying in their early to late 60's - almost always due to heart disease, liver failure or some sort of cancer In a "Death and Dying" psych class I took in university, the professor remarked how we went from dying from infectious diseases to dying from lifestyle issues. I'm not sure how true or false this is, but when one isn't going to die from the flu you might live long enough to die from consuming too much bacon and alcohol. I'm interested in learning more about this idea.
