OT: "why the life expectancy is lower in the US?"

Some would say obesity, which is lifestyle choice...

On the other hand, US probably has much lower incidence of cigarette induced problems than Europe which is about 10 years behind US in anti-smoking measures and legislations. At least they seem to be getting their act together on that now.
