Depends where you shift your healthcare money. Lots of healthcare money can be funnelled into preventing people from being obese in the first place. More sports for kids, more cookery classes, subsidised healthy school meals. Give people the space, time and money to choose to be healthier and they will. Run people into exhaustion and they'll eat crap - and they'll do so for generations.
I think we're very much aligned and I will hunt down your book and give it a listen, I love creative problem solving -there's a bit of a queue. I'm working on some scripts at the moment that are taking a lot of my listening time and podcast space with research. Gotta stay creative if I want to bring in the cash, Medium won't make me a millionaire - and even if it did, I'd only spend it on food!
Thanks for the comments and keep up the good work. :o)
