Cheap processes foods are bought up, people get fat, and people don't get the nutrients they need so they suffer from malnutrition.

Oklahoma is trying something I quite like. Those on food stamps get 1.5x the value of their food stamps when they spend it on healthy foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables. It's a better use of money and will help the general health of the community.

In general, a healthier population is one with less obesity.

For sure I agree. However would our healthcare not rank so poorly if that happened? I guess what I'm getting at is our healthcare really super fucked up or are we just super fat and it makes it seem more fucked up than it is?
