fish n chips? great food, but less obesity still in the UK.

That argument has been made before that it is lifestyle, not health care that makes the difference.

Perhaps if everyone could see a doctor whenever without worrying about the cost of the insurance, the doctor might be telling them that they are fat.

My doctor(s) in Canada, spent plenty of time talking about lifestyle and health.

Not near the whole solution, but certainly part of it.

As Warrane Zevon said "Not going to see a doctor for the last 20 years may have been a tactical error on my part"

Some doctors, especially if they are paid to do so, also talk about preventative as well as just fixing what's wrong with you today.

tens of millions of Americans today do not enjoy that benefit.

Well, yeah...duh.
It's always easier to blame someone else for your problems than to accept responsibility your self.
Seems to be a recurring issue with you.

You ever thought that eggs are just chicken periods? How would you like your chicken menstruation, scrambled?

Is that why they've the highest TB infection rate in the West?

Hard to tell from that article, it was poorly written because it compared city districts (Brent, for example) with entire countries like Portugal. What is the TB rate for the UK as a whole? Last number I saw was 14/100,000, about 3 years ago.

No, that's because of the massive volume of immigration into the UK. 75% of UK TB patients are from outside the UK, with contact between UK born patients and immigrants identified as a major source of infection.

Agreed. I never said different. It remains a factual statement. The UK let in tons of people. Most of them are in your country, on the dole, & making others sick.

I prefer to think of them as the unborn young of another species.

I just grabbed a quick article from the OP's source site. There are plenty out there. I believe that Britain now leads the western hemisphere in new TB infections. The UK govt. has tried to make the cause politically correct. It's being brought in by Indian/Pak/Arabic immigrants.

Chicken omelettes are the best. :)

"Its not a major problem right across the UK but confined to certain inner city areas,"

They must be awfully busy in those areas.


"As for standard of life all recent research that I've seen shows Australia and Canada are above most Scandinavian countries."

That was a bit surprising. I hadn't checked those lists in a few years. I didn't realize Oz was so highly rated. The two lists I saw didn't show Canada higher than the US. Scandanavian countries are still well-represented, though. My main point is obesity, CAD, diabetes, etal, are symptoms of stress. Stress combined w/a certain level of affluence.
