And, for those who might not remember, "we are all going to die sooner or later". This was told to me time and time again as I tried to encourage people to live a healthier lifestyle.
If people don't care enough about themselves to live healthier lifestyles, why should I care?

Maybe not for you VPL, but remember, there are reasons that someone's heart might stop beating that are totally unrelated to diet. The heart has its own electrical stimulation system. The immediate cause of sudden cardiac arrest is usually an abnormality in your heart rhythm (arrhythmia), the result of a malfunction in your heart's electrical system. There is also valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease and electrical problems with t he heart itself. Of course heart attack as well as CAD also can bring about cardiac arrest.
We have some neighbors who will not contribute to the AED program on our street, but if responders receive the call to get to a neighbor in need, off they will go...doesn't matter if they contribute or not....we want to offer potentially life saving help if needed.
While your thinking that this might be considered a safety net by some who choose to eat with reckless abandon, surviving because of the quick response of paramedics or neighborhood AED responders, may be just the wake up call they need, assuming they indeed do wake up.
Did you attend yesterday's presentation?
