I didn’t say obesity, I said unhealthy eating. Those aren’t the same thing.

I straight up don’t believe the drug use one, we have way more fentalyl deaths than you and it’s not even close.

You didn’t address crime. We have much more of it. More gun ownership and gun usage as well.

I’m not quite sure what this anecdote has to do with my comment.

Australians eat a substantially similar diet to Americans, and have similar health issues (obesity, heart disease, etc.) as a result. They are deeply related things.

Gee, I wonder if not having healthcare (including access to things like therapy and rehab) might drive up drug death rates.

> You didn’t address crime.

Sure; you didn't address how it's responsible for 3x the healthcare costs.
