Just look at modern western health care. Light on nutrition, heavy on treatment of the effects of bad diets. It may not be in big business's interest to put limits on consumption, but big business will be going through some radical changes, and soon. Will we be proactive and courageous?

Thank you for visiting, and for commenting.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-90469168566316652372010-01-07T13:13:30.423-04:002010-01-07T13:13:30.423-04:00I'm voting the majority will require the kicki...I'm voting the majority will require the kicking and screaming method... but I'm a cynic.<br /><br />Sustainability and anticonsumerism aren't in the majority's business interests. Thus, very few will promote them since keeping numbers in the black is the number one goal. <br /><br />Additionally, our culture doesn't actively promote prevention. We seem to prefer to let it fester, play the blame game, and pay out the wazoo to fix it at the last minute.Matt SFhttp://steadfastfinances.comnoreply@blogger.com
