Solving mental problems the old-fashioned way — with a knife: “In the last decade or so, more than 500 people have undergone brain surgery for problems like depression, anxiety, Tourette’s syndrome, even obesity, most as a part of medical studies.”
Madison, Wisc. has something no other city has: Black and white infant mortality rates that are the same: Nobody knows why.
A conscientious meat eater may have a more environmentally friendly diet than your average vegetarian: “Depending on how and where a food is produced, its carbon dioxide emissions vary by a factor of 10.”

The answer to your last question is “yes.” The Indian Health Service is definitely worse than health care in Canada or Britain.

Interesting about Madison. In general, the black infant mortality rate is about twice the white rate at every level of education. I believe I read that in one of Goodman’s books.
