I mean, if they're gay, moving to the US from Iran probably did not lower their life expectancy.
But more generally - we can't ask everyone in the US to move out of the country, can we? So it seems worth figuring out how to get the US to be healthier.
(And in any case, the linked study happened in Spain.)
- xiphias2 6y agoIt’s not about asking people to do something. I lived 6 years in Switzerland and a guy who moved from London to Zurich told me that he lost 10kg in a year just because people don’t let him eat crappy food, and on the weekends people go hiking and skiing, not to pubs. Sometimes changing the situation is the easiest way to change someone’s lifestyle.
