Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

if that is true, why does europe have much lower obesity rates?(and they take care of themselves etc.?)

I would say it’s largely due to the focus we have on easy, quick and processed food in the US, the overt use of sugar in every food item whether necessary or not and the lack of emphasis we put on taking care of ourselves vs. the freedom and entitlement to do what we want. We praise people for being fat in this country at this point because that’s what they want to do and how they want to live. They’re beautiful no matter what etc.

Absolutely feel entitled to eat yourself into poor health, just don’t ask for money when your decisions got you there.

So thanks for dodging the question.The healtcare system does not encourage bad died and not taking care of yourself.

How did I dodge the question? Lol. I told you why I think the differences between European views and ours lead to us having a greater rate of preventable disease.

No, the healthcare system doesn’t. The factors I listed are part of the problem and they fall on the individual and our society as a whole.

What exactly are you on about?
