But there is a very high component of personal responsibility in health. Two things can be true at the same time, and in this case we have a personal responsibility to be as healthy as it is possible not only for our own good but for the greater good of society since good diet, exercise etc all improve your immune system, your mental health etc which affects society at large as much as you as an individual.
It’s 50/50 really.
I'm not talking about personal responsibility as in "don't smoke cigarettes". I'm talking about "ultra-processed foods are the mono-cause for all human disease".
These people don't believe in health-risks. They believe that everyone who ever gets sick could have chosen not to.
Ironic how fast "personal responsibility" becomes "you owe your body to the State". But even if we ignore the totalitarianism of your system, it's still wrong.
Smokers and the Obese incur fewer lifetime health costs than joggers. So by your reasoning, it's suddenly patriotic and prosocial to smoke, be a couch potato, and eat potato chips. People who work out are selfish and hate America.
Do you have a source for the joggers bit?
No lol, they made it up on the spot
