Why is life expectancy way lower in the US than the other civilized countries
#31
One of the crazy things over here is that in the last few years it seems there has been a push to make it almost political incorrect to shame overweight people, and even some commercials celebrates it. I think it was Bill Mahr that said how many obese 80 year olds do you ever see or hear about?

But yeah lack of universal healthcare doesn't help, but IMO it's more about the powerful food industry over here and their lobbying making sure they can get away with big profits while packaging their unhealthy 'slop' in the middle aisles of grocery stores that people buy up instead of fresh veggies, fruits, and meats that aren't processed. And of course fast food for the masses as it's cheaper and easy.
