Yeah, and if I was guaranteed to live until I was 110, but could take off a decade of my life by eating whatever I wanted, I might just do that.... but, if we're talking the first decade or two of retirement, I kind of want to see that part.

I also saw a study a while back that says despite people thinking your personal rate of change plateaus as you reach adulthood, you tend to keep changing your hobbies/interests/etc. at the same rate or even more often as you age into and beyond your 40s/50s/so on... so I think that fallacy leads people into thinking they'll be bored out of their mind at 80 or 90, so who cares about those year.

I have a theory. Describe their food habits.
