Republicans have gotten very good at pooh poohing anything health related being mentioned. Just look at their assault on Michelle Obama for a relatively common sense change in diet and exercise for school kids.

They have successfully indoctrinated white males especially to believe that you simply don't complain about personal stress and poor habits, and those who do are basically unmanly. And I'm sure it rubs off on conservative women.
