Knees and other joints wear out with normal usage and physical activity. My father needed and got both knees replaced, and was a manual laborer on his feet and lifting all day long for 50 years. That physical activity (and hereditary thinness) kept him, and still keeps him, skinny as a rail at age 85.

You can't blame all knee replacements on obesity and unrighteous eating.
