We were taught in grade school that Europeans lived longer because of the Mediterranean diet they ate. They could eat good bread and drink red wine and out live us Americans.
Turns out it was universal healthcare. We’ll never get it here, and we’ll die earlier and poorer because of it.
The mediterranean and athlantic diets also help. But to have them you also need better quality foods, which are also worse in the US with all the derregulation.
yeah it’s a part deregulation but also the fact that US produces food in giga-farms in technical processes (like corn syrup and petroleum cheese) while in europe you have a whole lot more smaller regional farms which drives up the quality dramatically i believe. like, i think you probably won’t find something as good as french mold cheese in the US, simply because there’s not really any producers there. correct me if i’m wrong btw.
oh and also the fact that you need patience to really enjoy the food. if you’re always in a hustle (grindset), you won’t enjoy food anyways so there’s no point for food producers to produce better quality food if nobody appreciates it…
Not to mention they don’t live their lives in morbid anxiety over getting sick or injured. So that’s years more of life just by not being stressed and being able to think clearly.
Only people who live in the Mediterranean eat the Mediterranean diet. Frankly just because it’s better for you doesn’t mean it’s going to make you live longer necessarily it just won’t make you live shorter. And maybe they won’t have to make a special spherical coffin when you do die.
American here.

Excuse me while I eat my super processed pringles, and wash it down with a super sugary drink.

Glad you completely missed my point. I hope you enjoy dying earlier than anyone that has universal healthcare.
What are you on about?
Well, both are true. Apart of the traditional diet, European food regulations are solid and put consumers health above corporate benefits.
American food is almost as awful as American healthcare.
I mean i’m pretty sure that plays a major role too. Italian diet is just on a whole other level
I mean, is it true that you eat cheese that is literally made of petroleum?
And don’t get me started on the cornflakes and sugary drinks.
It wasn’t universal healthcare, it was a combination of poor records restoration by the US Army after WW2 and rampant pension fraud.
what?
