Hello world...please laugh...
I think for my first blog I will write on a video that I saw of Michael Pollan on the Daily Show . This guy is really cool. Please watch this video and read his books (i.e. Omnivore's Dilemma). The healthcare system is broken for one main reason and that is because we eat cheap food that is full of crappy ingredients such as artifical colorings, artifical flavors, high fructose corn syrup, partial hydrogenated oils (aka transfats), and monosodium glutamate. Eating good wholesome food can fix the healthcare system and decrease our obesity problem. Read the damn label everyone. Be informed. Take a stand against crappy food.
I actually have a theory and it probably has already been studied before, but I believe that eating crappy food makes you feel bad and in turn increases society issues such as crime. Of course everyone out there is saying I can't afford wholesome food. There is actually pretty good alternatives out there now. Take for example Trader Joe's. They are a private, small food market company that is rapidly growing across the US. They sell reasonable, natural and organic food. Please take a look. Taking babysteps initially can change this country and the world.
Until next time...

I think the change will have to come through policy mostly. There are some people that really can't afford to eat healthy food and they will not be able to until the food system is altered significantly.
ReplyDeletePeople have to force for change. People can cause change quicker than policy makers. Policy makers, also, don't know what's best most of the time as most politicians have lost touch with this country.
ReplyDeleteSo how will people force change? (besides buying healthy food)
ReplyDeleteWhen people put money into businesses that they like, other businesses will follow to those areas of influx of money. Nature tendency of the human race. Go where the money is.
