We keep being told that pensions are becoming unaffordable and the NHS is being swamped because people are living longer inconveniently. And yet – two-thirds of Britain’s adult population are fat or obese and 80% have a prematurely aged heart, according to the latest medical shock-horror. Which means that they are likely to die early of heart failure, a stroke or some other complaint of old age.
