My Health Care Reform
Supporting this 100 %!
Want to save money on Health Care in this country? Drop the Western Treat the Symptoms approach and adopt a proactive alternative by teaching proper nutrition, diet, cooking, and other important aspects regarding our health in Public Schools, from Kindergarten to Senior year in high school. How many of us know what a balanced diet really means? How many of us could cook for ourselves for every meal? How much have we sacrificed in the name of convenience?
The majority of our health care costs are a product of the FDA allowing Food companies to make their own rules, we live in a world where McDonald’s offers salads that have more saturated fat and calories than their Big Macs. Obesity, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and hundreds of other major illnesses are the direct result of our diets. The only half way decent food in grocery stores can be found on the outer edges, because that is where they keep the perishable goods that need to be restocked often. In the middle is a waste land of Nabisco, Nestle, and Kraft bull shit that has had all the nutritional value bleached from it’s ingredients long before they were combined to create whatever is in the boxes. Do not be fooled by the wide assortment of branded boxes, they are all owned by the same companies selling the same garbage tricking the consumer into thinking they actually had a choice in the matter. How can good wholesome food compete with engineered filler designed to melt in our mouths and shoot out our assholes all while providing ZERO nutritional value?
When corporations are in charge of writing their own rules and feeding our population, we become stats on a spreadsheet and treated much like the Industrial Cattle Farms. They fill us with filler, made from Cheap Oil and Corn. Then we get sick after 50 years of it, and they treat our symptoms with Pills and Co Pays, just enough so we can continue to go to work, pay our taxes, and pay off our credit card debt.
