29 year old dies

Today in the newspaper a 29 year old gentleman's death was reported. What is most concerning to me about this is that he was a de facto spokesperson for a burger chain. He apparently helped promote that the restaurant gave free or severely discounted food to obese clients, especially those weighing over 500 pounds. While everyone has been quick to point out that he died of pneumonia rather than a heart attack (which is apparently the nick-name for the 8 patty burger that he promoted) isn't it just sad that he has died? Someone who is 29 years old shouldn't die from pneumonia but I guarantee you that his morbid obesity contributed to his early demise. It is too bad that we as a society continue to glorify enormous portions and encourage binge eating. I am sad for this man and his family that they couldn't get him the healthcare he needed before he developed pneumonia.
