take a look at this:

I like this part: "Social – America can’t continue to support the consequences of obesity, smoking, non-compliance and self-neglect at the current rate. We just can’t. Preventable conditions like diabetes, heart failure, some cancers and viral diseases are responsible for an estimated 70% of our healthcare costs. Cleveland Clinic has joined with local governments and community groups on weight-loss and smoking cessation initiatives. Our Minority Men’s HealthCenter provides thousands of free screenings and other programs to address disease and outcomes disparities in underserved populations. But it will take more than this. Leaders at all levels of society need to promote the cultural principle that unhealthy habits and lifestyles are no longer acceptable, and that healthy eating, exercise and greater responsibility for our own health are the new norm for the future." Isn't that like buying a nice new car, then running it into the ground by neglecting oil changes and other regular maintenance, and then when faced by a huge bill to fix it, the owner complains to the manufacturer or government about the high cost to fix the neglect of the vehicle?
