22156	The facts about human health are the measure of the values in our lives [Boulter]
	Full Idea: The objective facts relating to human health broadly construed are the facts that measure the moral value of our actions, policies and institutions.
	From: Stephen Boulter (Why Medieval Philosophy Matters [2019], 6)
	A reaction: This is the Aristotelian approach to facts and values, which I thoroughly endorse. To say there is nothing instrinsically wrong with being unhealthy is an absurd attitude.
