In countries where there is state healthcare, there is a strong incentive to want to diminish the number of people in the larger bucket, even if this is at the expense of profits for all of the businesses selling unhealthy foods. In the US, the more unhealthy foods available, the more profit for the companies producing them AND the more profit for hospitals and drug manufacturers selling drugs to manage chronic disease.
If insurance companies were really insurance companies there would be a strong financial incentive for those in the chronic bucket to escape. Alas they are not. Our current health insurance are a socialist system of spread the pain that makes it financially comfortable for those to remain in the chronic bucket.
🤔 Hmmm. Well there is no doubt that the carb and sedentary bucket has this effect. The categories are interesting but there is a big category mistake to assume that the carbs and sedentary effects are the cause of the disease. It is another case of blame the victim. So first there is the issue of the inherent lack of nutrients in carbohydrates. Carbs are necessary and so is rest . But how is it that food intake no longer nourishes us but makes us sick ? How is it that those who suffer with these illnesses are often too poor to afford better nutrition? Or how is it that we end up eating fast food and highly processed food or foods full of bad chemicals; or that we have exchanged rest and a rest day for a sedentary circumstance? How is it that our educational institutions are not teaching us nutrition, or that doctors do not get any education in this vital subject, and rely on the pill or the knife to make us feel that we are getting help. Most significantly how have the institutions that once had a true sense of purpose are now full of greed and making a profit from illness. More to the point how is it that a large portion of the population have lost their sense of agency and given it over to authorities to fix . Get with it folks this is interesting but definitely not news or the real cause of the troubles, just because the issues can be categorized and statistics added for support does not equate to the full story . Individually we can take back our personal agency and do something about our own situation but that doesn't help the underlying problem . In a way it is a philosophical and spiritual problem . We need a new model of the human body as whole and organic, and more than a machine. We need a new focus on moral life that has allowed this kind of travesty and we need a set of values that collectively can restore the kind of community values that are purpose fulled and can make a difference to the kind of institutions that are not driven by profit or the bottom line . We need Love for ourselves and fellow humans, and the compassion and courage to change the institutions that are killing us and the circumstances that result in our sense of powerlessness over the troubled waters. ✝🤩

You might think that! (From U.K.)
This should be required viewing twice per year in school, K-12 and college.
Why quote the hack Ferguson?
Ah.... because he was an expert, and he overstated the expected deaths by a factor of 25. It's called sarcasm.

This is one of the best videos ever made
Ha! The Jardiance commercial before I watch this is LIT! ;-)
Is there a place to watch the full talk?
This is the full version of this talk. We have other iterations of Greg's lectures on our Broken Science channel.

Carnivore has solutions to all sides!
By far one of my favorites
He needs to address diet in there.
This has aged VERY well!!
We agree!
Thank you for an interesting lecture.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I understood this somehow.
Was gibt's den da nicht zu verstehen Karl?

Turn you hat around.
And what about poverty ? Crossfit and low carbs doesn’t feature on your radar when you can’t afford the basics of life.
The answer is a two parent household
So you say,
eat problems 🤮
not solutions. 😀.
🧠 becomes 💩
Good Luck
Poor people often live on junk food. For the same price they can eat eggs and hamburger.
Jogging is free as are most calisthenics.
