The smallest countries have alcohol, and fast food is the most profitable business, I guess. And that was at the doctor's, at the [abbeycarefoundation.com] I called myself when I first started to use too much alcohol. I can't leave you, I spend a lot of money to get treatment for it, and I don't think that Australia is the most healthy, but also in other nations people, it is a way of life, the thing that's more expensive than eating fast food.

You only have to walk around and look at people to answer that question. Look at archival footage of Australia within our lifetimes, 50-60 years, to get another answer. Look at school classroom photos of the past -- I have mine -- and look at kids now, and the answer is clear. The triumph of junk food, the decline of traditional family structures and working patterns, and the modern value system that says only your career, wealth and toys are important, not your diet or health, also apply. Finally, there's the modern view that every health problem can be solved by a pill from the doctor, peddled by pharma companies.

Alcoholism was a problem 200 + years ago but most back then sweat it off with hard labour and died young anyway!
