Food safety? How do you measure the effect of that?
Chinese life expectancy is higher and their burden of disease is lower than the US.
- lm28469 2y agoThe US is still a third world country in some aspects
- refurb 2y agoAre you arguing life expectancy is a direct measure of food safety? That no other factors affect it?
- okasaki 2y agoWhat are you trying to say?
- refurb 2y agoThe comment said life expectancy is higher. So the question is - can you measure food safety from life expectancy? Logically it seems not considering how many other factors affect life expectancy.
- okasaki 2y agoMy comment is literally asks "how do you measure that?" and then I put out two statistics that you would assume would be correlated with food safety (along with maybe IQ, which China also does better in)
- refurb 2y agoThat’s what I’m getting at - how correlated with life expectancy do you think food safety is? And can you think of the measurement of life expectancy might differ between countries making comparison challenging?
- okasaki 2y agoWhat I'm saying is that this purported food safety isn't manifesting itself through superior life expectancy, burden of disease or IQ measurements. Why do you think that is?
- refurb 2y agoBecause food safety is one of thousands of factors that affect life expectancy, burden of disease and IQ metrics?
