And what many of us on this forum deem as most important is health.

If you have poor health, nothing else matters. All the shoes, sports souvenirs, friends, likes on social media, money in the bank, and so on mean nothing if you are extremely ill.

IMO Doing one's best to minimize the risk of poor health should be a higher priority for most people.

I'm 73, on zero medications, and I caught a mild cold this year, it lasted 3 days. Onset for one day, runny nose for one day, mild cough the third. No other symptoms. My immune system did it's job.

The last time I had any illness was another mild cold 15 or more years ago, I can't really remember. Plus I haven't missed a day's work since 1964.

The doc says I may be 73 on the outside, but about 50 on the inside. Well that was a year ago, so I might be 51 on the inside now.

All the donuts in the world aren't worth this kind of health.

Bob
