  Most? Recognizing that a cheap food is fine for a dog has no bearing on healthcare. Feeding your child chicken and rice instead of caviar and brie doesn’t mean you wouldn’t take your child to the hospital for treatments.

    > Most? Recognizing that a cheap food is fine for a dog has no bearing on healthcare. it's not always the recognition; in some cases it's an indicator of economic capability. In other words : some people choose to feed their pets with cheap food because it is not economically feasible for them not to. >Feeding your child chicken and rice instead of caviar and brie doesn’t mean you wouldn’t take your child to the hospital for treatments. No, but the example can be made significant if you consider an extreme example. If a family is incapable of providing a constant supply of food to their children and themselves due to economic hardship they're also less likely to pursue healthcare options due to the intrinsic costs of doing so. Travel, copays, time discussing social welfare options, etc. It all costs something. In other words : the poor are in worse health than those that make more money.
