It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s a fat epidemic taking
place in our country. Everywhere you go you see obese people of all
ages. It is especially sad to see young people in this condition, like
the girl in front of us in a supermarket check-out aisle the other
day. Although she was probably only in her twenties, she was extremely
obese and her right knee was wrapped in a wide bandage. The young
woman cashier was also very overweight.
What makes this fat epidemic so tragic is the fact that many of these
people succumb to diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular ailments, etc. – and
much of this is preventable. Yet those who suffer the most are probably
the less affluent who are bombarded with fast food and pharmaceutical
ads. They’re caught in a vicious cycle that begins with elementary
school where the dairy industry meets with no opposition to their
propaganda pushing milk consumption. Then there are the fast food
companies that shamelessly zero in on children and their parents. With
their myths about nutrition and “protein” the powerful flesh, dairy, and
egg industries continue their stranglehold on the public and those in
the “health” fields (“disease” fields is more like it), who should know
better, acquiesce and lead their patients into the endless
symptom-treating that enriches the medical industries.
The relatively few people who have the guts to speak the truth are
not listened to, because the public listens to the media hype and
doesn’t want to change their lifestyle; all they want are “magic
bullets.” The only “magic bullet” that works is veganic living – simply
getting back to God’s health prescription: Genesis 1:29. It’s that easy!
