Well if was to believe the so called, medical profession, with what I eat etc... I should be obese, because I eat so called junk food and spend a lot of time sitting on my ass when I am not working.

Isn't the heart disease mostly to do with being overweight rather than the kinds of foods people are eating?

I worked in IT all my life and we hired a lady that changed careers and went back to school for programming. Her prior career was working in a medical lab. One day I asked her from all her lab experience what was the biggest influence on living a long healthy life. She said that swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time will kill you. The question is not how long you might live but are you ready to die? No one gets out of here alive. Don’t fret over nutrition or exercise, enjoy life.
PS If you think you will get out of here alive, then “buy the hook!”

Skinny people can get heart disease as well as obese...cigarettes or eating *hit all the time and keeping your arteries inflamed can do the trick. Decide for yourself!

Of course old age is likely the biggest predictor heart disease

Of course old age is likely the biggest predictor heart disease Not really. Heart disease has been virtually unknown in many parts of the world. I could fill up several pages with references, but, Dr. Joel Fuhrman has patients that came to him 25 or 30 years ago with incurable heart disease and he's cited their arteries having the elasticity and thickness of someone 50 years younger -- and they're now in their 90s.

Cool! I still have my 3 LP vinyl album set from 1972; "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". It's the only NGDB recording I own, ha!

I wore out "Both Sides Now" trying to learn Randy Scrugg's solo version on that album. (Years later it was Leo Kottke's version of the Allman Brother's Little Martha.) Saw the NGDB a few times "back in the day". They put on one helluva a show from start to finish. Would wrap up with "Diggy Diggy Lo" (the Doug Kershaw cajun tune) and come back for a couple of encores.
Also saw Earl Scruggs with sons Randy and Gary...they did a lot of Byrds tunes and Gary was almost 1:1 with Roger McGuinn. (Rare video below with the incomparable Clarence White on telecaster.)

2010 or 2011 (?), I was in Tahlequah, OK, taking a short cut and drove past a hill with a stone that said "Merle Lives!" I asked one of the people in the car if they knew what the sign meant..."someone named Merle Travis". OMG...had no idea that he'd passed away in Tahlequah. He was later cremated and his ashes scattered in Muhlenberg County (did someone say John Prine...??). Had a chance to drive through Muhlenberg County in the 1980s in route to the Florida panhandle. The area was beautiful, but, a lot of strip mining still going on. "Flint Hill" was my fave on that album...Earl kicking it off de-tuning the banjo and then the whole thing going into high gear. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=11296994
