This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.
Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.
Don't forget the food
"Now I must warn you before you move in, this country is built on top of an Indian burial ground"
What can you expect from a country where a “billionaire” like Trump’s favourite meal is fucking McDonalds or “Steak”.
I think it's the food. Their food is so atrocious. Everything is loaded with either fat, sugar or both. They have very few health restrictions for how to preserve food ingredients, especially meat. The eating habits are also bad, eating fried bacon or eggs for breakfast is horrible for your health.
