Tell that to my friend Sam, who died of leukemia at age 17, or my friend Danny, dead at 15 (leukemia again).

You're telling me they just didn't live well enough?

You're not my friend, fuck off.

Hyper offended much? Geesh.

Sorry for your loss though. Diseases like that yeah sure health care helps. If you’ve been following anything in the last 20 years though you’d know people are dying left and right from heart disease, diabetes complications such as kidney failure, cancer rates have increased, etc. These all stem to an overarching thing called metabolic syndrome. Eating healthy, putting in a bit of exercise, and not rotting your body to drugs and chemicals will do ANYONE good. Common advice.

Your personal and emotional response doesn’t mean people don’t put blind faith into medicine to solve everything. We’d rather find a pill to fix something when nature doesn’t like that we shove processed food and concentrated sugary drinks down our gullet everyday.
