Maybe the fact that every time they turn on the sonogram machine and use it for 2 minutes, that's 220 bucks for you and 330 for your insurance. Americans are obese because the cheap food is fattening. Why is it fattening? Because it is made from meat grown with fattening agents that don't magically disappear when it is listlessly cooked, filled with HFCS that saturates the liver and pancreas with fructose and stymies appropriate insulin response, subsidized sugar and corn is stuffed into every conceivable food stuff, and the corporations who are poisoning America own the political establishment from soup (Obama) to nuts (supreme court). - Binky the disconsolate bear Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:38:45 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/okay-the-post-beats-the-nyt-for-awful-reporting-on-minnesotas-budget-crisis#comment-9702 European food tastes worse?

Healthcare in this country will NEVER be fixed, affordable, whatever term you want to use - until people take responsibility for their own health. If anyone has a plan, would love to hear it, but until someone steps up and faces this fact, the pundits and economists can keep blabbing away with their fixes. - Jethro Sat, 02 Jul 2011 05:55:07 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/okay-the-post-beats-the-nyt-for-awful-reporting-on-minnesotas-budget-crisis#comment-9695 The US pays more for healthcare, because its citizens eat unhealthier (but better tasting) food than in Europe. Eating out in Europe is costly, and the food contains much less fat. People bicycle more in Europe because of the high cost of gas. If the US want to reduce Healthcare costs, it has to change its landscape, which will be difficult. - stronage Sat, 02 Jul 2011 04:52:01 +0100
