Hi Everybody!
My friends and I are having a debate.

The statistics vary but it seems that America is home to roughly 15% of
the worlds population but we consume about 90% of the worlds
pharmaceuticals and....we rank around number 15 among the
industrialized nations in terms of over all health.

Whats the reasoning behind that?



We consume a disproportionate share of everything else--why wouldn't we overconsume pharmaceuticals?
