    Hmm, that is interesting, because taking care of your body is definitely something, that a lot of emphasis was placed on in former Soviet countries, and sports and fitness activities were widely promoted. There is a definite public health benefit from a population that is active. The big problem with capitalism IMO is both the commodification of this health, and creating the conditions where, you are often really pressed by time so you cannot really dedicate more to your health and fitness... because you have to slave for your boss.
