1. Doctors that prescribe drugs and shouldn't be prescribed to a lot of people.
2. A too unregulated big pharma that makes a lot of money selling these drugs and pushing them to the doctors.
3. Unhealthy food that leads to people taking these unnecessary drugs in the first place.
4. No social security net for people that obviously need help and are unable to help themselves.
This summer I visited the US and let me tell you that the food is really, really bad and probably a big source to a lot of issues the US have in my opinion. If you consume hazardous foods, you will get sick both mentally and physically and it was nearly impossible to get good healthy food during my visit. After my visit to Bulgaria it was easily the worst breakfasts and food in general I've had. I was bloated and feeling like shit the entire time in I was in the US and chocked of all the homeless people clearly on drugs that were just hanging around everywhere in the big cities. I actually lost 2kg during my stay because I was a bit disgusted by the food. It was just fat with extra fat. Every. Single. Meal.
Then I went to Italy, and my stomach was back to normal almost immediately and I've never had better food than in italy. My stomach was thanking me every day and it's easy to see why. They have make everything from fresh produce, basically no conservatives and other crap that both the US and the western/northen europe have in basically everything.
Man the bread in Italy is on another level and available everywhere. Even if you order a sandwich in a gas station it's like freshly baked and tastes amazing. When you go to restaurants, the pasta is made the same day as you order it and so on. Zero km restaurants.
The world should copy whatever Italy is doing food wise because man they have shit figured out.

Are there any essential characteristics of American culture responsible for this?
