Quote:Not sure what you find so funny in the links, maybe you could expound on it a bit? So far what I have read from him and other authors on the subject makes a lot more sense than your assertion of differences in climate being behind the cost differences in the U.S. and other countries.

To put it simply, his terminology is wrong, his understanding of how, why and what he's paid is wrong, and his explaination of coding is wrong. If I were teaching you math and said something like "the sum of 4 minus 2 is 8" would you put a lot of stock in my conclusions about Calculus? But hey, he's an Internist with a website and HuffPo cred so he must know what he's talking about, right? The only part he got right was admitting that he doesn't really understand all that stuff he wrote about there.


And I'm not asserting that climate is the reason, that's gross oversimplification. The whole deal with wrong_box about what we eat just one part of what causes our problems.


But what Dr. Belk writes sure sounds good to those of the lefty political persuasian.
