So now Brits and Canadians are healthier than Americans. I still think Universal Healthcare coverage is Communism and that the FDA needs to protect us from buying dangerous Canadian drugs, even if there's no actual evidence that they've done harm to anyone.
From the FDA, an organization that only has our best interests at heart:
For public health reasons, FDA remains concerned about the importation of prescription drugs into the U.S. In our experience, many drugs obtained from foreign sources that either purport to be or appear to be the same as U.S.-approved prescription drugs are, in fact, of unknown quality. FDA cannot assure the American public that drugs imported from foreign countries are the same as products approved by FDA.

I have a bit of a hard time with this because how do you measure the average American's level of fitness? We are at once represented by obese fucks and over-achievers in the field (triatheletes, yoga retreatists - sports fools). I will say however, that I am suspect of Britains overall average health. No offense to my Brit amigos, just that I've smelled some of the food you folks eat and you have nowhere to jog, so.
Health has a lot ot do with your environment. Every couple of years we have a science group come down to Antarctica to try to figure out why Polies (South Pole residents) are the healthest people in the world. Polies are mostly American. Why are Polies so healthy despite a diet of 5000 calories a day with a ton of fatty and salty foods? They have nothing to do except work out and then they become immune to everything available as no new people come to the ice during the winter. It's kinda like prison with better hygiene. Plus we have unlimited health care, well we have one doctor for 64 people, so as much as one doctor can do.
PS... One in three Polies leave their one year stints with a mental disorder. They think it has something to do with the 8 months of no light. Luckily this survey does not take in to account mental health.

Malnutrition and eating disorders are just as serious problems.
The US is so screwed up we don't even know how to eat or what to eat unless somebody selling something tells us.
There are already selling us water. If somebody figures out how to sell us air we are fucked. Wait a minute, I forgot about the "Ionic Breeze."
We're fucked.
