Answers:
What you are forgetting is that the old folks that you are seeing around today doing all this, are the survivors. There are always going to be a certain number of people who have the most phenominal genes, and are able to do all the bad stuff, smoke, drink, and eat junk. They never get fat, never get cancer or heart disease, and just live to a great old age.

BUT they are the unusual ones, and you never know if you are one yourself or not, so the best thing to do is stick to the rules and don't push your luck. All the hundreds of thousands of people who were born at the same time as the oldsters you know right now, but weren't blessed with those special supergenes, died long ago. They dropped down with all the familiar diseases that we are being warned about today, and we will too if we take those risks. I might be one of the lucky ones. You might be. But the problem is, we don't know, so why gamble?
This isn't true, you're just noticing the small percentage who are the exceptions because they happen to still be alive for you to notice them. The greater majority are dead somewhere.
They had better food in their childhood.
