‘Lack of health care is not the cause of huge global burden of illness: water-borne disease are not caused by lack of antibiotics but by dirty water and by the political, social, and economic forces that fail to make clean water available to all; heart disease is caused not by a lack of coronary care units but by the lives people lead, which are shaped by the environments in which they live; obesity is not caused by moral failure on the part of individuals but by the excess availability of high-fat and high-sugar foods’.
