Which firms profit most from America’s health-care system (2018)

* Bigger homes means you feel more comfortable being lazy and spending all your time indoors

I call BS on that. Accordingly to this logic homeless must be the healthiest people. That aside, rich people (who also happen to have bigger houses) actually exercise more than the poor.

* Bigger cars means you are incentivized to drive 20 miles to a restaurant in comfort instead of walking over to a closer one

You telling that person with the smaller car would rather walk to the store (often VERY long walk in the US)? I call another BS here.

* Bigger TVs means you spend all day "watching the game" instead of going out and playing a sport.

Same argument as for size of the houses. I think you pulled these arguments right out of the place where the sun does not shine.

I think this is a reasonable criticism. The post you’re replying to appeals to common sense but I don’t see much reason to believe it would be borne out by facts
