Tbf diet is a factor, too. Not living in a food desert is a huge plus.

But seriously, the Mediterranean Diet is also a thing discussed in Europe while the north is wealthier and has better social security. Still, no one recommends the Scandinavian Diet or living without sunlight in winter. I still value the post as a meme. I don't want to be the actually guy but just provide some context.

Didn't someone prove that these statistics are all thrown off by pension fraud?

More so, we can replicate those diets and not see anything like the changes people claim come from just changing the diet.

The answer is and has always been "we're all forced to work ourselves into early graves." We can replicate everything except not working 80% of you adult awake hours, to be allowed to live.

As a culture, we just don't have the courage to deal with that.

This is what I was remembering. The "blue zones" that supposedly have much longer life spans also coincidentally are rife with pension fraud.
