That we are all in cahoots and looking to find the next corner to get the most out we can. But it rings true with me. You can borrow oodles of money and just declare bankruptcy with a stiff credit hit, and someone else takes care of the bill. This part trouble's me. That you can simply hand over your debts to someone else (a bank) and just get a slap on the wrist. I think if society is to really progress, there needs to be a shift in global thinking from how can I milk the system to how can I improve everything as a whole. But that's easy to say when you are doing ok financially as I am. I'm sure there are many perspectives I have not taken into account... Sam, your post is frightening, I have to be honest.

I wonder though.. if you have life insurance, and just die of old age, does the recipient get the money? It’s an interesting thought, and that which has been done before!

It's an excuse to make that researcher feel better about themselves. Check out who wrote that study. It’s an excuse to make that researcher feel better about themselves.

Nonetheless, too much fat can never be a good thing, unless you're aspiring to be a sumo wrestler.
