- Jerrrry 3y agoYour bias is showing.
- xenospn 3y agoYeah, that can’t possibly be true.
- Upvoter33 3y agoThe conservatives I know are definitely not “healthy”
- ecshafer 3y agoI know conservatives who are healthy and conservatives who are not. I know liberals who are healthy, and liberals who are not. I think this issue is more complicated than some notion of health.
- uyzstvqs 3y agoDefinitely. The Liberalism of today is rooted in secular Hedonist ideas, while Conservatives overwhelmingly support Judeo-Christian principles. This is evident by for example the fact that Liberals largely support recreational drug use while Conservatives largely oppose it.
- latentcall 3y agoYou can oppose recreational drugs but still be unhealthy. Conservatives in my home state tend to oppose drugs but are gluttonous about junk food, alcohol, and tobacco.
- SamBam 3y agoThis study suggests the opposite. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4692249/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4692249/
- latentcall 3y agoYeah I don't buy it either. I grew up in a red state and nobody I knew was "healthy". All ate highly processed foods, drank too much on a daily basis, and smoked cigarettes. No exercise. Never went to the doctor because they didn't trust them.
