Watching these town hall debates today, it’s apparent to me that Americans would rather rake their elected officials over the coals about these proposed healthcare reforms instead of addressing the problems with the American diet and lifestyle.
Too many Americans eat fatty, preservative-laden foods and don’t get enough exercise. Too many Americans drive a 1/4 mile to buy a gallon of milk or to buy a lottery ticket. No wonder America leads the world in heart attacks.
Japan, for example, relies on a diet high in fish and rice and yet only accounts for 9% of the world’s total pharmaceutical drug use (the US and Canada alone account for half).
Another question is, will the drug companies allow it? Don’t the drug manufacturers want Americans to continue eating their McDonalds, KFC and Hot Pockets at every meal?
