[@sadiestoltzfus9798]

When you weigh 400 pounds and take off 100 pounds not going to make a difference. The stress on the heart damage is already done. i'm overweight and should learn that being overweight is not going to increase my life span. It seem's that men who are obese die younger then obese woman.

@@sadiestoltzfus9798 "men who are obese die younger then obese woman." Yup. Why do men die earlier than their wives? Because they want to.

He died of "natural causes" which probably means just wear and tear from a life of obesity. Pick up 40 gallons of milk and log them around for 30 years.
