My husband insisted he died on the Dick Cavitt show. I was pretty sure Mr. Fixx died while out jogging. This is obviously the guy he was thinking about, so I will have to share this story with him tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-64048719710679647422013-06-12T03:18:41.357-04:002013-06-12T03:18:41.357-04:00Well, I have to ask.

Her message was living a healthy life, not a superannuated one. In her own case, she did live to the biblical age of threescore and ten, most of those years healthy.<br /><br />I'm not endorsing her program. Some of her advice was sound, some was not. But I see no irony in her death, as some do.Ivan Ilyichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188429891387548730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-16700235057734854742013-06-10T09:29:08.857-04:002013-06-10T09:29:08.857-04:00@Moose, What magazine do you know of that isn'...@Moose, What magazine do you know of that isn't a shill.

There are too many factors, most of them unknowable.<br /><br />Adele Davis' death from cancer didn't have the same irony. As she said, "I haven't claimed to have a cure for cancer."<br /><br />The fact that advocates of healthy eating die is not a good reason to eat unhealthy food. (But I am not offering a defense of dietary advice of either Rodale or Davis.)
