102 US Counties with LE < North Korea

[candycorn]

You wouldn't think it would be possible but of the 3,000 or so counties in the US, over 100 have a Life Expectancy that is below that of North Korea. Its easy to see that the pertinent factor between the rest of our nation and those highlighted is probably wealth--Arizona's dark stain is the state's poorest county. Still, you'd expect the LE to be higher than NK.

Stop eating carbs and sugar all day. Media proudly markets obesity as if it is the new "beautiful". Get back to marketing good weight and good health, sound mind, logical thinking., emotional stability, capitalism. Activism isn't a job, business pursuit and innovation is, it creates employment,.keeps people moving and focused rather than having idle time they inadvertedly use to eat. Movement keeps your metabolism active.and stable,.burns sugar. Eating candy and chips isn't a healthy snack, it is killing everyone, not just Americans.

I never even heard of that county.
It's down there by Dade and Broward, though.

Yankee developers built subdivisions right in their home. Wild boars, too.

There's a big red splotch there down to the SE of FL.
Looks like Miami-Dade-Broward to me.
Them Jews probably live like to 98-101 years avg.

Increased infant mortality is usually the reason for lower life expectancy statistics, more so than adults dying at like 60 or something

Is that the case here?
Tbh, I don't want to live to be that old. I've taken care of people that did, and that looks very painful.

How can know that's even true? It's not as if the North Korean government is all that forthcoming with information or the truth.
