Not sure what the joke is here but please invite me to you're party at your death bed so we can a laugh at healthy eaters as you die at 60.
You sound like a smoker who mocks non smokers. You want to eat unhealthy? It's your constitutional right. But why hijack this thread.
Yes healthy eaters can die Young and unhealthy people can live long.
But bh in my family those that lived and are alive at 94-103 keep this form of diet.
Enjoy your soda in hell at 50
No question that the Mediterranean is the gold standard of diets. Keep in mind that although not conclusive, some studies show that being a bit chubby after middle age actually corresponds to lower mortality than those who are thin, and certainly vs those who are underweight. Also Longevity has a strong genetic component; it tends to run in families even after factoring in lifestyle. Having a positive outlook, close relationships, religion, and being productive are also factors.
A recent study suggested that people who walk fast (even those morbidly obese!) live years longer than those who walk slowly.

One side of my family seems to have the gene. My grandparent had 12 siblings, and all lived to the mid to upper 90’s to low 100’s except one who died in middle age of a freak infection and septic shock. One was a kindergarten teacher. One founded a major media firm. One didn’t drive a car and walked everywhere. Another drove all day to sales and the like. All were incredibly active well into their 80’s and were generally happy, positive people who were interested in life. My grandparent ate frozen pizza, grilled cheese, meals on wheels, school lunches as well as meat. Most of them were on the chubby side but mostly in moderation.
On my other side I had a relative who didn’t touch sugar, white flour, or meat. She took long walks daily and was in good shape. Her family did not have longevity, and she got the machla in her lower 70’s.
So the Mediterranean diet is a great lifestyle move, but just one of many factors when it comes to longevity.
