The Force That Makes People Poor and Sick

Have you ever wondered how we, as a society, went from traditionally having one income earner in a family to both people working? How did a family go from working 40 hours per week and having everything they needed to working 60-80 hours per week and never having enough? Have you noticed that regardless of what people make they often spend it all and carry some debt on top of that? How do you get both parents out of the home when preparing a family's food is the most important job anyone could ever have? When you know why, only then can you fight back.

Whether the food preparation is executed by a man or a women, we are seeing this essential function continuously being placed on the back burner. If a society prays consistently at the alter of bigger, faster and cheaper that religion will become expressed within the society.

Why bailout money for greedy corporations (who lost their money because they are incompetent) when the answer to our faltering economy rests with parents making their families' healthy? Our economy is under stress because our bodies are under stress. How can we get the economy rolling when more and more people cannot even make it to work or are on leave for health and mental problems? We are approaching a tipping point where the healthy people can no longer chip in to cover the work the sick people are supposed to be doing. Just like in the body, the liver will jump in to cover the kidney's work when it is sick...........but it can't do it everyday! Eventually the whole system collapses and sickness enters the entire body.

Every time you hear a politician talk about jobs and not talk about how sick the population is, you should understand it will only get worse. Our government's goal is more consumption, more working and less attention to your health. The big problem with the government's goal of consumption is that basically there is just no more wiggle room to buy stuff or work any more hours. The country is maxed out in every possible way. You can't get to the shopping mall when you have just filed for bankruptcy plus you are laid up in the hospital. The all out consumption model our government endorses is not working and it is highly dangerous for all Canadians.

How did it happen? How do you convince an intelligent human that looking and feeling like crap is worth it, as long as they have the newest fridge and TV? Only 60 years ago most families had one phone in the house and no TV. How does it go to several TVs, several phones, several cells phones and several computers? There is an art form to redefining what is considered normal asset acquisition for a family and that is how you get people working more to spend more money on things they really don't need. All the while, the health of everyone involved fails.

Even though we see the results of ignoring the tradition of food preparation, not many people can stop themselves from literally eating and working themselves to death.

What is the powerful force the makes people sick and/or poor? (because we know there are plenty of rich sick people as well) Why are there so many lonely rich people? Why such a drive to be the richest person in the grave yard or to have the nicest car in the hospital parking lot? What is the equation that can make people ignore their basic instincts to live a long and healthy life? What sort of tricky is involved in overriding the basic instinct to protect our offspring by providing them healthy food? How do you convince a parent that taking their child to McDonald's or Dairy Queen is a treat when really it sets the child back in every possible way? What sort of tactics are involved in convincing parents that toys, sports equipment and DVD's are more important than a child's nutrition? The answer is explained below.

We are currently the most unhealthy, depressed and lonely society in human history. How did it happen? This clip from the movie "The Story of Stuff" gives an amazing clarification of what "forces" are involved in keeping the great majority of our population unhealthy, fat and poor. Once you can identify the tricks that keep you down, only then can you fight back. I could have not produced a better explanation myself. Enjoy.
