"I Love Cancer"..and that's a good thing. Sort of.

Health Trends: We are living longer, and living healthy!

Consider Calorie Intake: It's on the rise. But also, consider this,
1) Original diet bland with little variety (unable to get proper nutrients in the past)
2) Occupation in past = physical labor. Now that lack of vitamins is even more dramatic.
What changed? water quality, sanitation, diet, environment

Flynn Effect: typical increase of IQ in a country. We're getting smarter! All of us!

So what? Let's think of value, the benefits of health improvements
1)More people are happy
2) We live longer, and we live richer (income is important)

• 1962-->2009 Chart: The richer every country gets, the longer people in that country live

American Living Standards:

1) Labor Market

2) Household

3) Health

4)Human Capital

5)Income Revi...I blame my handwriting

   -We make 7x more than we did 100 years ago

• Workweek decreased
• Household work down from 12 hours to 3 hours (unless you make homemade spaghetti)
• In 1900, retirement did not exist. Work til you die!
• Women currently outnumber men in college

I LOVE CANCER! =Proof we are living longer

Human Capital= ability to acquire skills you were not born with

      Unfortunately, we spend half the time at our full time jobs "not working"...my boss would love that.

We don't care about stuff, we care about services! (check out my first EWOT!)
