The Brainwashing of America

we think sugary, chemical laden soda is okay for us (not to mention our babies who suck it from a bottle)
we think McDonalds is healthy because it's fried in canola oil or whatever "healthy" oil they use
we think fast food is convenient at the expense of our health
we think diabetes or heart disease is a given in life
we think kids with ADD is normal
we think kids with adult onset diabetes is okay
we think ads for pharmaceuticals is okay
we think prepackaged foods are good because they save us time (but steal our money)
we think depression is normal
we think fruits and veggies in their natural state is radical
we should be OUTRAGED that people are trying to make us sick... government, advertisers, fast food places... they're all out to get our money...think of the circle of health.... eat junk, get fat, get high cholesterol or diabetes, go to doc, ask about meds for high cholesterol, get Rx, pay copay, insurance company pays rest, keep eating junk, get diabetes, go on insulin, keep eating junk, don't eat fruit because "it's bad for you", get an infection, lose a limb, buy a prosthetic limb. who's profited? fast food companies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, prosthetic places. but all these people would be out of a job if I were healthy. Well, they'll get no more money from you when you're dead, either.
