Yeah, well, if a cheese sandwich was good enough for my grandparents and parents, it’s good enough for me.

My sibling in Christ, your grandparents smoked and drank whilst being pregnant with your mom and dad.

(This isn't supposed to be a diss, I'm just trying to point out that this might be some survivor bias and that our ideas of what is healthy or not change over time. Which is great, we always add knowledge. It's not so long ago we discovered vitamins. My former supervisor discovered the first biotin receptor. God, a couple of years ago keto was the new hot shit.)

(The Netherlands, moreover, does have a lot going on that plays into its citizens' health. Doesn't it? You seem like a solid social democracy and you got more bikes than people. Maybe it's that and not the cheese sandwiches :P)
