>The USA is not some kind of outlier with a uniquely unhealthy population.

It is, actually. Our obesity rates are the highest in the world at 41%. This is nearly double many European countries, and five times higher than Japan or South Korea. Only a handful of tiny Polynesian islands have us beat.

Better treatments for diabetes are great, but what's even better is not getting diabetes at all by losing weight.

That's not accurate (in terms of obesity rates, USA ranks #18; Egypt is #17) and does not explain the lower life expectancy in the USA.
