I just finished "In Defense of Food." Michael Pollan makes a pretty good case that the health care issue is driven by processed food - causing obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. Essentially if americans ate less processed food (and less food overall), there wouldn't be a healthcare issue.
Absolutely. One of the best things we could do would be changing our farm subsidies away from corn and sugar and instead contribute to many forms of fresh produce.
