pharmacuticals to keep people fat for$$? as absurd as it seems, think about it. all of the sweets that are in candies, soft drinks and the like are corn based. the sugars promote increase sugar levels in the blood, increased risk of diabetes and other dangerous health ailments. the pharmaceutical companies have incentive to create drugs for in ever increase illnesses, food companies keep making unhealthy food. they blame the public for unhealthy choices. they make the unhealthy food cheap, low income people are at the greatest risk, but the bottom line is increased profits for all involved and the circle of life continues as the profits soar and the health of all involved diminishes.

what are your thoughts about this?
 
I really don't think that there is a great conspiracy.

I believe what has happened is that we are a society of people who reach for convenience and processed unhealthy foods, well they are just easy.

We have been expertly conditioned to want to save time, cut corners and make our free time greater.

Certainly there is a powerful lobby to mislead consumers, ie, diet this, low calorie, high fiber, heart smart and all of those little classifications they put on process foods to trick the consumer into thinking they are good for you.

Defiantly the pharmaceutical companies are powerful, they create ailments in order to prescribe (think "restless leg syndrome").

What is all comes down to is being a smart consumer. If you can't pronounce it, don't eat it.

If a symptom isn't live threating, but the side effects are...Don't take it.



It is actually much cheaper to eat healthy, whole foods. The catch is, you have to know how to cook and be willing to put the time into it.
 
stop looking at the scifi channels. there are 10 episodes left to battlestar galactica. they have found earth, it was nuked, all life is turned to dust. the cylons are at war with themselves, and # 6 is still the tall, long legged blond one.

come back to reality. why don't they have fat people in star trek and in battlestar galactica.? no conspiracy there!
