RE: Economic graph of the day #4. How healthy are your habits?

in #health7 years ago (edited)

The corporations in control of the vast majority of the food supply collude with the medical industry to make people sick via terrible nutrition & pharmaceutical torture. Thanks to the internet, some of the younger generation has woken up to this. But it is a terribly addicting double edged sword reinforced through mass media programming & economic policies, so even when people know they are being preyed on, they can do very little to protect themselves.

Education & exposure will be key to getting our health back. Big money plays the long game, we have to do the same

Sort:  

Okay, your child get diabetes because of too much happy meals.
Who is to blame in this situation - McCorp or you, the parents?

Corporation is maximizing profits by any means possible including invention of more and more junk food and lobbism. It's your task to monitor your health and health of your society as a whole.

corporations intentionally selling harmful addicting foods are to blame. As are governments that let them behave this way. As are parents who don’t educate themselves on nutrition. The kid gets screwed the worst, set up for a lifetime of battling cravings & seeing garbage addicting food everywhere.

I’m guessing We are both educated & intelligent. Many many people are not & will eat what is cheapest, most available & filling. Pretty hard for some people to educate themselves on how to eat good food, when they are exhausted from working multiple jobs just to try to pay rent & afford a few “happy” meals. The system is rigged to keep the lower classes in sickness & poverty. If you are lucky, you may avoid the traps

But of course you are right. Nobody is interested in your health more than you! )
