You can push a healthier country based on religion, patriotism and science though. Whether it helps during this pandemic, who knows, but for Covid 2030 or Influenza 2040 we might be better off. Not to mention it would immediately help the environment and peoples life in general. I think it would have been a good compliment to the docs that are always on television
Now when you combine that with people who cant change their situation (people over 65) I think you can account for most of the really bad instances.
And in 22 months, dieticians and physicians could have had a major impact on reducing the risk and improving peoples lives if they shared the stage with the virologists. Remember, they would have been beating the drum the entire time too, from the same platform. Especially in the months before the shot.
I don't disagree with your objective. It's common sense, but folks haven't been using common sense during this pandemic.
By your own admission, you're saying "push" a healthier country, but that's problem:
push. The more you try to push shyt, the more people will object to it, even if it's going to result in their death. We've bear witnessed to hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people dying because the measures undertaken to mitigate the damage have been ignored; the lockdowns, the social distancing, the masks, the vaccines etc. These people believed it has taken away from their freedoms and rights. Trying to get them to eat healthier during this time isn't going to work. There's already been countless attempts to reform the American diet, but to no avail. They've already proven they're willing to sacrifice their lives (and anyone else's) for what they believe is right.
This is the sad state this country is in. It needs a new identity which unfortunately neither you nor I will be alive for if it ever does.
we are such idiots overall
