You snort coke, you don't eat it. :) You guys in Lexington are a bit strange, Casey. (How's Flash doing these days?? You still have his old car?)
I don't know about you guys, but I'm probably going to die in a horrible
car accident of my own doing (I'm sure it will involve large motors and
small cars shortly after I mutter "Hey guys, watch this!"), not by mad cow
disease or having an ass the size of a Buick. Still, I guess I may want my
mangled, charred corpse to be in top physical shape.. at least the pieces
they can find.

It is still your choice to eat those foods. Don't eat as many processed
food and coke.

Seriously though, high fructose corn syrup is put in almost
everything we can easily buy in mainstream stores. it is not
metabolized well by the body and leads to obesity. Using it makes
money for the big food producers, just like NOT testing cows for mad
cow, makes money for the big food producers.
how does this make sense?

OMG! People who are poor choose to be poor or are lazy?! LOL
So people who are obese choose to be obese?
I agree that in some cases these can be true, but certainly not
universally!
Next thing we'll hear is that abused women & children choose to be.
Sigh.

What's the government have to fear if people develop the ability to
overthrow it? If the US Regime is not doing anything wrong, they
don't have anything to worry about, right?

Jim is absolutly correct and probably makes the point better
than I did. Most people have health conditions due to their own
choices. Furthermore, people without ins. Don't have ins. by
their own doing. The people that "need" social healthcare are
the people who are most apathetic. We all have the freedom and
choice to take this path or another. If people make better
choices, life is better/easier. Our society has become so....
So lazy, pathetic, apathtic... Something, I can't find the
right description... Take some personal responsibility and
handle your business.

I decided I must weigh in on this one after all. I do
work at the largest hospital in my immediate area, which
just happens to be the only for profit hospital in
southern Arizona. My observations are first hand, not
something I've seen on TV or read about.
I don't honestly believe we have a 'healthcare' crisis. I
believe that we do have a 'wellness' crisis. More
accurately, a lack of wellness crisis. The vast majority
of the patients I see in the healthcare system are sick
due to their own lifestyle choices. We have an entire
generation of citizens who think that they are owed
everything: police protection, fire protection,
healthcare, etc. Personal responsibility is way
undervalued by our current culture.
Numerous hospitalizations could be avoided entirely by
simply getting an annual physical exam where the
physician has the opportunity to catch the signals of a
possible or impending issue and take preemptive measures.
'You are what you eat' is a manta of any good cardiac
rehab program. However, if adopted as a normal part of
one's life, it could have been what keep you out of
cardiac care in the first place.
I don't think I need to point out the shift to a
sedentary lifestyle that the vast majority of people have
adopted.
Practicing wellness is hard work. Most people would much
prefer to ignore good lifestyle choices and then push the
responsibility for their well being off onto someone
else.
