Not saying it’s a huge impact but it’s not negligible

It's America at large, not inner cities. Mortality rates of young people (not just violent deaths) has more of an impact than what he implied.

It’s funny I was just talking about this with some baw at the spa but it’s because they poison the food supply with all kinds of wild preservatives and Americans are lazy af and also most of us drive everywhere instead of walking

Healthy relatively speaking. Meats are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Beef fat is also an excellent fat source when comparing linoleic acid content vs something like vegetable oil.

Obesity and its many complications it brings. A lot of artificial preservatives, sweeteners, seed oils, etc are banned in Europe. In America they are in literally everything. It matters.

Figure don't lie, but liars figure. Suffice it to say those stats were gathered from two different sources, in different systems, with different compilation methods.

But there are differences d/t disparities in genetic longevity among population/ethnic groups, as well as contributors like accidental fatalities, or a 600% higher murder rate in the US.

A lot of food additives in the more convenient meals in the US.

And….stress. We don’t take anywhere near enough vacation. Europeans probably take too much.

Do some quick research into the American diet and stuff the FDA allows in our food that Europe does not allow.

All of what has already been said and:

1. We categorize infant death differently than the rest of the world. Leads to increased numbers of “deaths” with stillborn pregnancy.
2. Gang/gun violence and suicide.

Also we are the only country that has Mexico as their southern neighbor.

Fentanyl hasn’t destroyed other places yet, but it will once it takes over heroin in those places.

We don’t have shorter lifespans than other countries. At least not in the way that you’re suggesting.

Opioid overdoses and gun violence drive premature death. If you’re interested look up life expectancy at 40 or 50 instead.
