"WASHINGTON — Americans are living longer than ever, but not as long as people in 41 other countries.
Countries that surpass the U.S. include Japan and most of Europe, as well as Jordan, Guam and the Cayman Islands."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I think the "infatuation" is health. Healthy people tend to live longer.

sorry, it's a personal joke. carry on
seriously though it is inexcusable. i bet if someone polled people in the US 90% to 95% would be under the impression that people in this country out live folks from every other country.....those same egotistical twits that think that the USA is #1 at everyfuckingthing :rolleyes:

depends what you define as quality... i.e. being 200pounds overweight and not being able to see your own cock isnt what i define as quality... obviously i'd rather be healthy and live till 83 than be really frail and eat pureed food until i was 93!
the point of this thread is that it isnt the "quality" of US life thats killing them early... its the "quantity" of their diets
my favourite line and one that is quite true on here at least
Do you live in the US? I'm pretty sure I've read in some thread that you live in Canada... but you seem to be an expert on everything concerning the US!
How can your statement possibly hold true for the entire country? It's pretty ignorant..
I realize that you are mainly talking about our government, but we are aware of the idiocracy currently leading us. There are plenty of people here that know what's going on around them in the world..
And that's just it isn't it dunk? Everybody has their own interpretation of "quality". What is unacceptable to you may not be for someone else.
Diet wasn't the only cause shortening their life span that I read in the article.
I didn't take it that the OP was attempting to place "blame" or start the thread purely to make the "point" of the thread that the quantity of the American diet is solely to blame for their shorter longevity. And if that was the case then I'd say it's a short sighted and simplistic view to take.

Its not a zero-sum gain. Its possible that increased longevity refers to both better health AND a longer life.
Huh? The article says Americans are living longer than ever.
Whenever I hear someone say something like "it's citizens are kept in the dark on every issue..." I realize it's someone making an argument that is based purely on agenda and not on truth - especially in an age when communication and information are more pervasive than ever.
In other words, your bias is so great that the ridiculous comments you make highly degrade your credibility.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Yep, quite possible. But when you know it doesn't apply to you then it's fairly easy to decide on quality over quantity.

Ha. Fair enough.
agreed.
however, if you live an unhealthy lifestyle...you may well live to 70, with debilitating, uncomfortable, expensive health issues....instead of simply enjoying all 70 years. i think THAT is the real point. it's not just the number of years in your life...but the life in your number if years.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
quality of life over longevity is just a matter of what you are taught is really important
...i.e millions of commercials sculpting your thoughts.
Mental programming. You are told what to think, do, and eat so certain people can take your money....which is your time...and ultimately....your life.

Come on Roland.
If a person's running marathons in their 70s good on them if that's what they want to do, but marathons don't interest me now. And all the dietary advice in the world won't save you if you are genetically predisposed to disease or the "proverbial bus" comes along and takes you out. We all do the best we can when we can. If that equates to quality and longevity for some of us, that's excellent. But it cannot possibly be the story for all of us. No matter how many mung beans we eat, no matter how many bench presses we can do.

Good point!!
Richard: Scram Tommy. Don't give her the weight room thing.

Tommy: Do you know where the weight room is? I'll check it out.
As kids we were all hooked into the tube well before objective thought could ever take hold. Mostly why McDonalds has those playlands for the kids. Their food is poison. Fast food is poison to the human body. We would all be dead long before puberty by eating their diet exclusively and taking their word for what they say.
It's all subjective and subliminal programming playing off the basic human psyche; we all want to lounge around and be lazy, and have our taste buds blown away, and be instantly sexually gratified. These are the basic conditions to evolution that have been an overwhelming success for mankind (thus far).
It's basic human nature that big corporations have exploited. It's not responsible, however it's profitable, so it all exists effortlessly.
The reason I know this is that once I started eating clean foods, I no longer craved sugar and junk like a drug after eating every meal.
I get serious withdrawals from fast food. They engineer their food precisely in labs with teams of scientists to make their food to elicit a drug response in the human brain from just tasting (and smelling) it. Billions are spent to make this a reality, and on purpose.
We are guinea pigs to big corporations. And they give not even .0002 cents about us and our lives...whether we get sick or not, or ultimately die from their "food".
That's how I see it. I believe it is accurate. It starts verrry young when we are highly impressionable.
I am not impervious or special. I fail at it far too often. Being brought up this way from an overweight/obese mother....It's like a lifelong drug addiction, with temptation at almost every street corner.

Love!
And considering that public health policy and public opinion has forced McDonalds here to make changes to their menu and implement the Healthy Choices Menu which even has the Heart Foundation Tick, I'd say that it's certainly not the case in this country.

Sounds a lot better than my experience.
Over here, TV is practically used as the babysitter to pacify kids so adults don't have to deal with it.
I was rarely supervised while watching TV...if ever.
They have a saying "the west is the best"... I beg to differ...

Yeah,
Not to say that some of her more militant ideas didn't cause problems for us later in life, but like most things you live and learn. She's always been a big fan of Adele Davis' books and I have to say that I have a couple of well read and often referred to copies myself. Might be of interest to you Roland. She was a pretty cluey woman.
