> In New Jersey, we have reached a chronic disease crisis, with more than 4.6 million cases of chronic disease reported

Yeah right. Of a population of 7 million, 4.6 million have a chronic disease.

I'd be interested to know how they define "chronic disease."

Diabetes is a huge one. And obesity-related cardiovascular problems.

“I’d be interested to know how they define “chronic disease.”

They equate chronic with preventable.

” The fact is that many chronic disease cases (80 percent of heart disease and stroke, 80 percent of Type 2 diabetes, and 40 percent of cancers)
can be prevented through simple lifestyle changes associated with
three risk factors: poor diet, lack of exercise and smoking.”
