    That individual health can be discussed separately from societal conditions such as what the market offers, salary levels, pollution, transport system, working hours, labour market, insurance system et cetera. “If you want to be healthy it is just your own individual responsibility to purchase healthy commercial products and services”.

      Where I grew up, the well water was poisoned by a chemical dump in the 70’s. The public water system that was to replace the wells, draws their water just down stream of said dumpsite and downstream of a nuclear processing plant that dumps heavy radioactive metals into the river.

      Guess its my fault for contributing to global pollution by buying bottled water shipped dozens of miles away.
