¿Question #5069?
puffinge: If you knew for certain that you would live exactly one year longer if you gave up your favorite food as of right now, would you give it up? That's one year longer than you would live if you continue eating it. Assume you would be healthy for the extra year.

purplewurple: Can we do it the other way around? I'm sure I can find some bad days I'd trade for free food.
Hector Vortac: I love a few dozen foods all about the same. I think I could sack one to gain a year.
sunchaser32: no
beagle757: Yes, sadly I don't eat my favorite foods that much anyway.
ricardofo: nope
Corran Horn: "If you gave up (insert list of things you really enjoy) now, you'll live 5-10 years longer!" "Yeah, but why would I want to?"
Spirit of 70: Yes.
Solid: Yes
Imploded: yes
DeePee: Can't answer this question, it would depend on too many things.
miraria: definitely.
WOTZI: No
Wabete: yes
Connal: Totally.
MadBrad: Goodbye King Crab Legs....
MamaRat: I'm already probably going to live longer than I'll want to; even if that last year is healthy, I'll still be old as f%#@, which just can't be pleasant. So I'll keep eating the good stuff.
Polgara: no
Zarion of Arabel: no
TakeMeToYourLizard: Give it up of course.
MystElden: Yeah. I don't feel strongly toward one particular food. It would be a good trade.
Ludocrazy: yes
ValerieF: no, never
amadan: you're assuming a non-suicidal audience, right?
jbuergel: Yes
sdonohue: yes.
DHEK: Yes, of course! 1 extra year of life! That's a lot compared with just giving up a favorite food. There are lots of other food in the world that I enjoy anyway.
Benzebub: Sure.
POvidiusNaso: I don't think I would.
spamwise: Can this diet assure no accidental deaths durring my bonus year? I'd hate to give up a food only to be hit by the bus the next day.
TheDS: maybe if I was 99.
wyldeoak: yes, there are lots of different foods I like
offwater: Certainly
Leo-T: Sure - plenty of other good foods around.
monkeyrobot: I would not give away my fried eggs with fries.
Geosphere: Sure. It guarantees I survive this year.
aleo09: sure why not.
jtotheb: I guess it depends on how long I was going to live in the first place. I have a pretty hearty lineage, with a number of family members living well into their 90's, and two in recent lineage living to be over 100. At some point, I think I might just get sick of it all. And, when that time comes, I'm probably gonna want some chocolate ice cream. So... no.
Redbeardin84: nope. Screw it.
Cut & Space: No I wouldn't
MaksimSmelchak: Odious question. Please ask better questions.
ellephai: Hell no. Sure, I want to live to be 108, but it's also about quality of life! Would you give up playing board games if it would make you live longer?
Android: Nope. Eat drink and be merry.
taragalinas: Not in a million years!
chriscarl25: Sure. Why not?
Dorque: Nope.
vampywife: it depends, if my hubby is going to be around for that extra year, then i would give it up, if he isn't, then i'll just die happily eating my favorite food.
hacksword: No.
Nekura: Yes
chesrcat: nope
midnightfaerie: no way! i want to experience life to the fullest!
hkishel: Maybe, does eating it cause me discomfort right now. Because I love cheese but it does not love me, so I have had to give it up.
fastfingers: yes
bekudno: I've discovered how to have my favorite food also be the healthiest. It doesn't have to be a tradeoff.
brainrob: No
Quest22: Yes
bigbadsteve: sure, why not
Dr. No: no
puffinge: I would try to give it up and fail
djlg: Healthy, but old right? Either way I'm not giving up my favourite food.
jttm: Depends which year it is. If I'm in my 120s, then I'd keep eating.
Lord_Prussian: no
Randy Cox: Oh, yeah. Can I give up my top 100 foods and get an extra century? Remember, quantity has its own quality.
CortexBomb: Probably not. Even though the idea of "my favourite food" is elusive to me, I dislike lowering the quality of my life in trade for lenghthening it.
Dave: PB&J 'til death do us part.
chaddyboy_2000: I guess so.
CDRodeffer: Hmmm. I don't think I could give up ice cream.
skelebone: So I guess that means I'm not going to die in an accident, correct? Or is this accident somehow delayed by one year by me not eating this forbidden food?
