Why Are The Brits Healthier Than Us?

You may be right but possibly not in the way that you intend. The rate of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality may be higher here.
It’s because we spend too much time at work and not enough time living.
My theory is that when you concentrate all your bad health on your teeth, the rest of you reaps the benefits. This will be better explained in my forthcoming “Carmel Apple Plan to Better Health” DVD series.
LMAO damn Doug that was funny as hell man….when’s the launch date of that DVD? hehe
Maybe it has something to do with England having only 4 TV channels and they’re all BBC networks. I have trouble finding something good to watch and I have 100+ channels on basic cable. And if I don’t have anything to watch, I do something else. I would guess that the English spend a great deal more time away from the TV than Americans do.
I agree. Walking to the local pub provides significantly more exercise than walking to the remote.
