I was 65 when I completely changed my diet. Not because of weight or any health issue I had, I just wanted to be proactive. My goal is to try to prevent prostate cancer or any other cancer for that matter. (I know people will school me now and tell me that I could still get cancer.) Of course there are no guarantees. The best you can do is reduce your risk for disease.

This stint should work for 20 + years.That will be 97 or 100 years old. Leave the guy to his steaks and French fries.

If he improves his diet, whatever it is, he could possibly reverse his artery disease. But to continue, "his steaks and French fries", it's more likely he would need to add an extra stint about every 3 to 4 years. After about 3 stints, it's likely his doctor would tell him he needs a bypass. And, at any time along the way, he could be in danger of a major cardiovascular event, such as a stroke. So it's not something to take lightly.

If you took me off my high fat diet, I would prefer death to living longer.

Some people, like Clinton and others, prefer life and health. And often they can still find enjoyment in eating. It's just a matter of relearning how to eat. Why not wish them the best for a good life and health?
If you saw someone getting ready to jump off the Golden Gate bridge, wouldn't you try to stop them? Or would you say, "if I stop him, he will take his life at some later time anyway. Might as well let him have what he wants. It's his life. Go ahead, JUMP!" I know, I'm comparing apples and oranges. If someone falls apart slowly, it's much more acceptable.
