Quality of life is a very personal state, unique to each individual. And up until one is ACTUALLY confronted with the decision to either live or die one has no idea what they would do until then and there. Without being confronted with a real, bonifide, choice of death over life, facing the actual prospect of real death, throwing down the gauntlet of choosing death because of a food choice amounts to nothing more than machismo bragadoccio bravado.

You missed the point by several decades. Yes any sensible person would chose life over a cheeseburger, but I would take 70 years of cheeseburgers before 90 years of lettuce.
