RE: Why Health is Not a Human Right
Hello @tfcoates
I salute you for having the patient to discuss robustly on the most important issues people aren't taking seriously and which has eaten into the fabric of our society so much that even a paradigm shift is difficult.
People feel that their lifestyle is their responsibility, but the health problems that stem from it are not.
There is this man in my street whom I have observed to dwells so much on dry gin that I called his attention one day to discuss the negative implications of his lifestyle with him. Regrettably, he showed little attention.
I hope lot more people will take their time to read this, and digest it.
Regards.

Hi @eurogee, thanks for the feedback! I think you'll find a lot of people in denial about their poor health decisions. This can be because of underlying mental health issues or because they don't understand or want to ignore the health impacts. If you're interested in helping people who don't want to be helped you can try a technique called motivational interviewing... it's what a lot of doctors use to help people quit smoking etc. and it works really well!
