 U.S. life expectancy still trails 30 countries – CNN.com

I was reading my news before I was off to work and this caught my eye. I let you skim through article to formulate your own opinion.

Here are my thoughts:

  • DOES IT SURPRISE YOU THAT THE US is still behind other countries in life expectancy?
  • Have you been paying attention to the obesity rate in the US?
  • How about our convenience society?
  • Even though our mortality rate is down, we still surpass all other countries in all the ‘killer’ habits.

I sometimes wonder who does these studies? Better yet I wonder how informed is John Q. Public?

Carpe Diem
