Social factors key to ill health

On the road to almost correct.

"Social factors - rather than genetics - are to blame for huge variations in ill health and life expectancy around the world, a report concludes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has carried out a three-year analysis of the "social determinants" of health."

When it comes to overweight/obesity, those "social factors" are personal choice and personal irresponsibility.

Unfortunately, the article, which is based on a WHO report, is full of other crap politicizing the matter with WHO's obvious agenda.

"The report, drawn up by an eminent panel of experts forming the WHO's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, found that, in almost all countries, poor socioeconomic circumstances equated to poor health."

Wrong re: overweight/obesity, as it likely has to be since "an eminent panel of experts" was involved.

When it comes to overweight/obesity, they are not caused by poverty. Rather they cause poverty.

Overweight/obesity caused poverty is called poveresity.

So, congrats on trying to disabuse the world of the "it's my genetics crutch."

But, shame on you for trying to blame matters of personal irresponsibility on a political agenda.
