Last thing needed is someone casting blame as if they have all the answers....and in my opinion neither of these got what they deserved.

That's why I went back and changed the word from "deserve" to "qualified". I had my first childhood asthma attack at age nine and almost died from it. But my main point is not what always happens to individuals, it's what usually happens when people live less than optimally healthy lifestyles. An important point is to look at the difference between one lifestyle and another such as Okinawa versus American. The Okinawans are known to "restrict" calories by not eating processed foods and by eating until they are 80% full. And there's a world of difference between their disease rates and ours.
