How is food bankrupting healthcare?
Discussion
Processed food makes you sick by metabolic syndrome caused diseases basically.
While processed food is not generally healthy the primary driver of overweight and obesity is wealth. As nations get wealthier they get fatter.
This can be limited where you have a country such as Japan with an intelligent population and a based culture that is disgusted by fat people but even there the proportion of overweight and obese continues to creep up. A modern Japanese urbanite eats plenty of processed food btw, just look at any Japanese supermarket video on youtube.
Yet the diabetes, cardiovascular, autoimmune and other metabolic diseases are not privileged only to fat people. Nor to rich ones. India, poor and mostly vegan, for example, is suffering a diabetic epidemic.
But I will let the doctor speak for himself of the spread those around the globe. NCD is non communicable diseases which is basically metabolically or lifestyle caused ones. 
1) India is not vegan. It is estimated to be ~20% vegetarian

2) Diabetes in India matches it's % of world population

3) Number of people with diabetes has increased more slowly than the obesity rate there.

While India isn't rich it has gotten a lot richer and the traditional Indian diet is horrific oily garbage. It is unsurprising that eating more of it is making them unwell.
Cool. I am going to finish the book that has more than thousand references and scientific sources at its website, written by a doctor with 40 years of field experience anyway and decide for myself.
Also his takes on regenerative farming is something I am seeing many people are turning to to reclaim health and nutrition values of food. While you pretend that wealth == sickness, my country is the poorest of EU and yet the sickest and also the fastest, that’s true also, but that wasn’t the case until we got the processed food boom and the privilege of choices between expensive shitty dead food and cheaper and shittier dead food.
And I would try to work on prevention in my family, at least, rather than hoping that government healthcare will take care of us.
I never said wealth == sickness. It's the primary driver for a nation's obesity. Africa isn't skinny because of a lack of processed food. It's because of a lack of *any* food. Given increased wealth, a large segment of the population will overeat. This doesn't mean avoiding processed food is bad, but if you eat a truckload of unprocessed food you will still get fat.
Among individuals, the wealthiest are usually more intelligent and there is a weak negative association between intelligence and obesity.
