We are hardly third world desh. Our problem lies in large part to the fact that so many Americans eat like shit and do not exercise. Then they turn around and blame the healthcare system. Just as they did in your article.

3rd world status? Kind of interesting the number of foreign investors pumping billions and billions of dollars into a third world country. Besides diversity people invest in the U.S. for security. People do not equate security with third world countries.Originally Posted by Superfreak

Have another burger. Do you want to supersize that?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

42nd puts in the ranges of some third world countries guys.
BTW Canadians and Germans are not exactly health food countries.
Obesity as a cause of death in the United States has been proven to be grossly overexxagerated, and having 40% or so of your population overweight rather than 50% probably wouldn't put you so much above America anyway. You are just stupid conservatives with your eyes taped to the back of your head who are too blind to see whats really happening. Conservatism is a mental disease.

Tell me then, what is happening?
Also, please link to the "exaggerated effects" of an overweight population. I don't believe you know what you are talking about. Like usual.
Recent studies showed that fatter people live shorter lives, significantly so and that because of that health care was cheaper if you were treating those who were obese than if you were treating somebody who lived longer.

LMAO... emo alert... please, provide some evidence to suggest that being obese doesn't lead to significant increases to your health and a decrease in your life expectancy.

It's just another one of his spoutings... He isn't just "mistaken" he's making crap up off the top of his head.

Deregulate the insurance market, give people a thousand dollar credit to put into a "health saving account", and harrass fat asses and old people to get off the couch and excercise.
Problem solved.
Funny, I thought he was pulling it out his ass.

actually he does have a point as Obama said we just can't just eat whatever we want and expect other countries to say that's ok. We need all Americans to be smaller than they are now, by eating less, to prove to the world community that we care and that we are trying.
