People with expensive well worn running shoes have better cardiovascular health. So let's give people well worn running shoes to improve their health.

I like this comparison because it makes me think of a company that is administering a medical trial type program to improve cardiovascular health — I'm imagining a "farm" type place, where undergrads are on treadmills, taking new, expensive running shoes and running in them until they're "well-worn". It's very silly, and I thank you for this mental image.
