On average, Europeans live around five years longer, have less than half our obesity rates

Jason H. Karp: "On average, Europeans live around five years longer, have less than half our obesity rates, have significantly lower chronic disease, have markedly better mental health, and they spend as little as one-third on health care per person as we do in this country. While lobbyists and big food companies may say we cannot trust the standards of these other countries because it overregulates, it stifles innovation, and it bans new chemicals prematurely, I would like to point out that we trust many of these other countries enough to have nuclear weapons. These other countries have demonstrated it is indeed possible to not only have thriving with a clear, do-no-harm approach towards anything that humans put in or on our bodies."
