You assume that people actually prefer health to overeating, smoking, and alcohol. I would suggest we can tell what people prefer from what they do, given that everyone knows that overeating, smoking, and drinking too much alcohol are very bad for you.
I say this, by the way, as an obese guy with a roommate who smokes, if that matters. :)
- Evgeny 17y agoBut would the people then actually prefer to actively prevent illnesses to just dealing with them as they happen? I have doubts ... I know I'm guilty myself - I need to make 2-3 visits to the dentist to fill some cavities, but I tend to delay this because of time issues, financial cost and pure laziness ... and I think I care about my health reasonably well compared to the majority.
