The actual causes of the health stratification we observe are a spectrum of circumstances people find themselves in. If you are born (for example) into a Fox News household amid relatives and friends who share that primary exposure AND you don't leave home and get exposed to critical thinking, you have a good chance of over-exposure to processed food, guns, religiosity, conservative opinions, and a weakness for candidates who claim to have all the answers and the power to correct them. These cultural connections generally do not lead to good health -- because of their narrowness.
