Perspectives

In all of the world, no country has better-tasting food than America, nor less healthy food. In all of the world, no country has more entertainment and more entertainment choices, with less moral responsibility than America. No country has higher paid doctors and lawyers than America, nor doctors and lawyers with lower ethical standards. No country has a more hyperactive news media than the US, and none have a news media with shallower standards. And certainly no country in the world has a more vainglorious political culture that America, nor one beset by more rampant corruption.

Regarding health, Americans don't even understand the basic-basic things. The need for fresh air, not air-conditioned air. Water, not soda or coffee. Natural food, not processed food. And all that debilitating (to the colon and the planet) cow-beef! And an average of 125 pounds of refined sugar a year! Sugar is sweet, but it’s the most unnatural thing in the world, containing no vitamins or minerals. Yet they’re allowed to sell it s “natural.” What wholesale moral bankruptcy spawns a food industry which can get away with that, while damaging the health of hundreds of millions?

There are so many misconceptions. Most Americans are dehydrated, compounded by the practice of when they're thirsty they think they're hungry, so the heavy bottom line is that two thirds of Americans are overweight, one third obese.
