Given the benefits of strength training as they relate specifically to the top diseases of developed nations, they probably should eat and train.

A competitive level isn't necessary, but reaching a non-trivial level of fitness has tremendous benefits to one's health and well-being.

Like if a pill could deliver them, it would be the most profitable medication ever developed.

Yes, but it's also a significant time and money investment. The additional time and food cost of nutrition/gym membership/supplements is easily $5000/yr or more.

Time, yes. Money, no. $5k/yr to lift and eat enough protein? That's quite possibly the most insane claim I've _ever_ seen on HN.
