I guess ya have to go somehow and I know he was a very great philanthropist, but I cannot help but think that if he'd promoted healthier eating and done so himself, he might still be here.

Sorry, to be a wet blanket, but so many kids of today know almost nothing but fast-food nutrition, and he contributed to that, too, with his ads and hamburgers and fries. I have a hard time reading what a great person he was when this is not taken into account. He DID try with adding baked potatoes and pita salads, I'll give him that. And, I am sorry that he isn't around to help promote the wonderful programs for which he cared so much.

Now that he is gone, I guess we just have to focus on the good he has done and his far-sightedness will continue to do; I'm just sorry it has to be at the expense of our arteries. Sorry, esp. to Spaw becuase I know how much Dave's programs, etc. mean to him.
