More Americans are now seeing rates of higher chronic illnesses compared to Europeans, and obesity is a big factor in the profusion of all these chronics illnesses, says a new study.Jonathon mentioned a few days ago that obesity spending is pushing health care spending in the U.S. way past most European countries, and if chronic (long-term) illnesses continue growing, that divide will only grow larger in the future.
And we wonder who may be to blame for the rising costs of health care in the U.S. Democrats? Nah. Republicans? Doubtful. Obese citizens? There you have it.
We have the power to prevent this madness, yet all that fast and processed food full of useless 'nutrition' is pushing millions of us over the edge. That is, to the tune of $100 to $150 billion in health-care spending each year due to heart disease and diabetes.
