The OP posted some statical data published recently. I had read a similar report. It is not negative but factual. Perhaps with some life changes people can do some things to improve or stall the inevitable.

It is puzzling to me to read posters view this report as being negative.

It has been my view that we should acknowledge reality and deal with it instead of ignoring it and having it work against us.

There is much written about the benefits of negative thinking... Essentially negative thinking in this sense means considering the consequences and debating that point to advance your position. One great leader who dealt favorably with such usage was Abraham Lincoln.

Finally the comments made concerning the OP were not only unkind they were not factually incorrect. As I recollect this OP posted several recipes that had many members very engaged. How much more positive can one be?
