Obesity---the Dis-Ease No One Wants To Call A Dis-ease....

[Guest guest]

Morning Elliot,

 

Great Message !

 

Everyone wants to blame somebody, other than themselves.

 

There is a difference in " who to blame " and " who is responsible " .

 

In this case, the same is responsible and to blame.

 

There is another area of responsibility. That is the Education System.

 

I ask many of my friends, when talking about health and nutrition, " Did

you not learn anything about this subject in school " ?

 

Of course that is a joke and we know the answer.

 

It appears to me, the same people control the drug companies and the food

industry are also the same group that print the textbooks and decide what

to teach in school.

 

I picked up an old textbook used in the education system of LA back in

1928. It has the names of the students inside the front cover. It was

written for 14 to 17 year old females. Yes, I was interested in what the

education system was doing then, 10 years before I was born.

 

It was not a technical book. More of a " Home Economics " type thing. It

did however contain a few principles of nutrition, about as sound as

anything taught today.
