Not true. I'm concerned about what I eat just like you might be concerned about your golf game or your car etc.. It doesn't mean you won't enjoy golf or going for a ride in your car. It just means being conscientious. It may never have occurred to you that some people might enjoy eating healthy foods. I happen to get great enjoyment from avoiding junk-food and eating healthy foods.

I think when you think about adding minor amounts of the newest fruit or vegetable or protein that is supposed to extend your life or make you healthier you are just kidding yourself.

How do you know it's not the other way around? Where are the scientific studies to show that poor diets make people live longer and healthier? Poor diets subtract years from your life. Read the obituary page and you will see there's no shortage of people dying in their 60s and early 70s.

How old do you want to be anyway? I see a whole bunch of old people in nursing homes that would be better off dead.

People who live healthy lifestyles generally don't end up in nursing homes. They tend to stay independent. And if you stay healthy, you will live a long life. On the other hand, people who live unhealthy lifestyles sometimes live into their 80s but the last 10 to 15 years are usually of very poor quality.
I'll soon be 73 and I'm still in good (drug free) health. The way I feel (young) I think I can keep going another 27 years in good health.
