This Health Affairs paper confirms what many of us feared:  there is already evidence of declining health status and life expectancy among younger Americans. http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/early/2011/06/21/hlthaff.2011.0092.abstract
The epidemic of obesity is the reason for sharply higher than predicted cardiac mortality among younger people.  We won’t need to wait seven hundred years like in Wall-E.  It’s already happening.
