Bullshit. Show me one grocery store than doesn't have chicken, rice, carrots or broccoli.Utter nonsense.
The U.S. is a not comparable to a largely homogenous small European country. We have people from all over the world here - including 20M plus illegal aliens.
How long you live is not based on race or what country you came from, its based on where you live currently and the environment and conditions you are CURRENTLY living in.
You are sorely misguided.
Genetics and the personal choices we make in how we live our lives are far bigger determinants of health than the patch of land one occupies (unless one lives in a toxic waste dump).
The poor in the U.S. are perfectly free to eat healthy food and get exercise. That they don't is due to the culture of dependency caused by Big Government support. Universal Healthcare just doubles down on something that is already failing. Those poor, by the way, ALREADY HAVE GOVERNMENT PROVIDED HEALTHCARE. As it is not making them healthier, expanding its scope is pointless at best, and disastrous at worst.
No its because low income areas of the United States have poor access to health care and good quality food at an affordable price. When you have conditions like that, the results are not surprising.
It's far cheaper to cook healthy food at home than to buy tons-o-crap junk food.
Based on calorie content, the cheapest food out there comes from McDonalds. You can get more than full days worth of calories with just one meal at McDonalds. Many people in low income areas don't actually live in house and do no have a care or other access to transportation. The grocery store if they know where one is, is much further away than the McDonalds where one meal will get you a days worth of calories.
