Costs

Healthcare costs in this country have been a subject of great debate in recent times.  So I have a question.  How much of the American medical costs for chronic diseases is attributed to poor nutrition? 

The American Heart Association estimates that each year, more than $33 billion in medical costs (and $9 billion in lost productivity) resulting from heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes are attributed to poor diet. 

Are we killing ourselves with a dinner fork?
