Nice Kitchen - Where is The Wheel Chair Ramp?

In what could act like a post card for our modern society, many people continually place "things" above "health".

Yesterday I talked to one of my friends and the usual conversations started about chemical free organic food. My friends main concern was price. For example, chemical laced cheese full of antibiotics and growth hormones is $3.99. Clean cheese that makes you live longer and lose weight is $4.59. Bread that will give you a heart attack is $3.49. Bread that keeps you thin and vibrant is $4.99. Basically my friend was hoping that he could eat the same foods and get a different result with his health. He was hoping there was more magic in health and less chemistry.

Again, health cannot be bought............it has to be "done". It takes time and not money. If you think being healthy costs money, wait to you get the bill for being sick.

My friend also told me with pride that he and his wife just finished a brand new $25,000 kitchen renovation. I asked my buddy, "did you build a wheel chair ramp into your new kitchen because you will need it soon with the way you are eating."

Today our society is always chasing the wrong concepts. There is nothing wrong with a new kitchen but if you do not have your health a new kitchen is insignificant, especially if someone's battle cry regarding health is "I can't afford $20 extra in organic food per week".

In our "more, more, more" society we often forget to understand that our North American "concept" of living is merely an experiment. The results speak for themselves and millions are screaming for change.

Do we really need more stuff? Can we even sustain keeping the economy rolling with the pollution we create? Why do we think the cure for debt is more spending? Do we really need our mothers and fathers working at WalMart on public holidays, like family day? Can we continue to trust in a government that allows all this to happen? Can we really find more hours to work and spend our money when there are only 24 hours in a day? How many cells phones are enough? How much luxury is enough and why does the North American definition of luxury only include health as an after thought?

Lets watch this short 3 minute video regarding a rich American meeting a poor Mexican fisherman. Lets see who has a better life? Which lifestyle brings true happiness? As a society, are we spreading happiness to other countries with the products and lifestyle we export to them? Are we exporting pain or happiness to our global citizens? Are we the problem? This video has the answers.
