Who only gets 2 weeks off? new hires?

Most workers get 2 weeks off in the US. You have to be there a while
before
that changes. Are you disputing this? If so, please provide the data.

What part of "new hire" confuses you?

So? How many weeks off does a new-hire European get? What part of European
confuses you?


it.
What nonsense. Did you even read what you wrote?

If you are strictly talking health, our system is so good it is bad.
We can afford to eat red meat at every meal and a lot of people do.
There is also the "corn" problem. Our farm policy ensures there is
corn in everything you eat. It might be the corn in your meat (higher
fat content, starch or the high fructose corn syrup that shows up in
most of the things you eat or drink. Sugar substitutes come with their
own health warnings
Obiesity is a serious health problem and the US is at or near the top
of the list every year.

Well, so with all our fancy medical treatments, we don't do as well as
other
countries. As I said..


... but that is not a health care problem, it is a lifestyle problem.

Yes, it is a health problem. Obesity is a health and education problem. It's
not just lifestyle. Most people don't really choose to eat crappy food. They
just don't know any better and they don't have an opportunity to get decent
food. We're not an agrarian country any longer.
