Didn't you know life expectancy is falling in the US? Maybe you're not American, but I can tell you from experience living in several countries, we have more government involved in our lives than anywhere I've lived yet. Antibiotics? In Asia, you can get antibiotics when you need them ; here, you can't. I live in a very nice town in a part of the US with the strongest economy, and my water tastes like sewage. I'd like to collect rainwater, and that's actually legal in my state, but the HOA won't allow it. Do you know anything about nutrition? I'm a health nut of the most obnoxious sort, and proud of it. I can't believe the kinds of foods that I find in grocery stores - how the actual F is it legal to sell food with 1800% sodium per serving? I saw that the other day. Other foods have canola oil as first or second listed ingredient - that industrial lubricant, not food, and it's killing people. The FDA goes around shutting down small farms, but lets that get into grocery stores? TBH, it looks like the government is actively trying to make life worse.
