It used to be that people lived longer from one generation to the next. Now we're going backwards.

Too much time sitting. Heard the other day that the average American adult now spends about 9 hours a day on their electronic devices. Combine that with a bad diet...

If turning 70 is going to be any worse than turning 60 then maybe we are already living too long.

I can vouch for that.

I agree with spending 9 hours a day on their electronic edevices, etc. I was at a Community College function yesterday where there were 8 tables with 6 to 15, or more students per table and every one of them were on their phones, not talking, looking, downloading, sending links all over the room....WOW!!
I feel sorry for them when they turn 30's!!

Funny. I foresee a generation of old folks with their heads permanently set in the downward position.

Not this child. The missus and I are recent retirees, just got new bicycles, love to hike (with camera), and long walks with the dog are daily activities. And, we'll probably get mowed down by someone checking Facebook at 60 mph.

How about all the GMO'S and all the Geo Geological engineering , who will tell the truth what is actually being sprayed over us. Listen to Bill Gates speech about over population Bill says if we create the right vaccines we can reduce the population. I live near the Ga guide stones which say what so many 1% folk repeatedly write about. You know the Bible clearly describes when people begin to worship the creation rather than the Creator. Simple to fact check just google who and which affiliated groups want to reduce the population to 500 million people. Fact check me please.

If you want something to ponder, think about this. Longevity in the USA and Cuba is almost exactly the same but the cost per person per year is quite different. Health care costs in the USA are $7,000 per person per year while in Cuba the cost per year per person is $300.00.

Please tell me, what is "the Geo Geological engineering".

Please explain: "Who will tell the truth what is actually being sprayed over us." Being sprayed over us where and when?

"I live near the Ga guide stones which say what so many 1% folk repeatedly write about." What are Ga guide stones? Who are 1% folk? What are they repeatedly writing?

It doesn't take long to lower the average when you have many young people overdosing on drugs. I read the other day that over 50,000 died last year. The longevity figure will
continue to drop until we get a handle on the drug problem.

Healthcare in this country is a joke that keeps getting funnier around globe. Drug dealers on the street are more honest then the pharmaceutical hucksters on the boob tube who have suckers going to willing high paid prescription writers for fixes. It isn't going to get better. Lack of real health care controls population. Congress isn't unaware. Those who educate themselves and separate real from hype stand a chance.
