@johnromberg People can definitely experience healthy. I don't look after my health at all. But when I do, like exercise and watch my diet for months, the difference is night and day. I sleep better, sleep less, and don't feel tired when awake. Stairs and cycling that would exhaust me, become a breeze. My borderline health issues would drop drastically to normal. When I stop looking after my health, it goes back to me not being able to sleep, sleep longer, and feel tired all day, and my doctor starts nagging on risks I'll have if I don't take actions. I know there are people who may look way more unhealthier than me but actually are healthier than me. BUT. For that very same person, he/she can still become healthier and feel it, or deteriorate in health and feel it.

@johnromberg "Dunning Kruger dance"? Like my doctor overestimating his ability to read my blood test results and overestimating his ability to compare it to my past history?

@johnromberg Scroll up. You questioned if the notion of "experience healthy" exists. It does. Stating 'healthy' is arbitrary, undefinable, unmeasurable, and saying individuals can choose to live with health risks, health problems rather than live healthy, are two entirely different thing.

@franksousa54 Owning slaves used to mean you were rich, while women who were unhappy in marriage used to get lobotomy treatment. What does that have anything to do with what we know today? What is healthy, what is not, your doctor will tell you. It is not trends of different era. It used to be that those who could feast with the king would force themselves to vomit so they could enjoy more gourmet. You think modern or future billionaires would do that?

@johnromberg Your words: “It’s(healthy is) really difficult to define, what with all of the inevitable death and such.”, “Why would she attempt to define it(healthy) if it's practically impossible.”, “Are you claiming that people can "experience healthy”?”. So, I am saying healthy is not arbitrary, it is definable, measurable, and we can experience healthy. Also, people ARE PAYING for others' health issues. Health insurance companies calculate risks in percentage of population too and adjusts policies accordingly. Medical resources is fixed and limited, so when services can't meet demand, price of medical services go up. Plus, obesity costs the US healthcare system almost $173 billion a year. Just like we don't steal but everything we buy includes costs of retailers' lost from shoplifters, and costs of retailers hiring securities and installing CCTVs.
