Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in America. The leading cause? Poor diet. A hamburger at McDonalds cost 99 cents while a head of lettuce or a carrot at a supermarket costs 2-3 dollars. Healthier foods cost way more than unhealthy foods, crippling our economy, by filling hospital with people dying of preventable causes. There should be financial compensation, whether through tax benefits or 'healthy eating' credits. If we can give 'carbon credits' to businesses destroying our atmosphere, we should be able to give credits to people trying to prevent premature death, living longer lives.
Why is this important?
