You just described over half of the jobs in this country. I worked 10 and 12 hour, 6 day a week shifts for 45 years. Standing on a concrete floor all the while. Plus I went to night school afterward for the first 5 years. Every job is tough. I ate out of a brown bag for over half of my life. Diet is up to the individual. If all they eat is fast food and junk, and don't exercise on top of it, they'll die young regardless of what they do, or where they do it. I'm not buying it's because they became cops.
Over half the jobs in the country are shift work, high stress, and cause difficulty maintaining a diet and eating schedule? I'd like to see your data.
Actually, save your time and focus on showing that greater than 50% of American jobs are shift work.
