Socialized Health Care in the USA

[kandrathe]

I think many of the biggest fast food consumers are the same as the ones that have bad health care coverage.

Maybe, maybe not. Junk food is only the tip of the iceberg. It's an expression of the values of our culture.

In a former life, before I wised up a bit, I was a turbo executive with meeting scheduled from 7am to 7pm, including client breakfasts, lunches, dinners and cocktail afterwards with often parties and dancing until the wee hours of the morning. After about 3 years of this fast paced living I had put on about 30 pounds, and was pretty much dying slowly due to a lack of diet discipline and exercise. So, I changed jobs to one with more sanity and less pay, returned to a healthy diet and exercise with my free time and shed the baggage. No matter what the money, its not worth it to burn yourself out like that, but for many, wretched excess is the American way.
