Childhood obesity is taking away the future of both the parents and child. Should obese children’s parents have their children removed from the home, or should the food companies CEO go to jail. I’ll leave this challenge to the public. Our government is reckless with our health and funds. They have spend millions to research shrimp on a treadmill, a salamander crossing in Vermont and 3.4 million to build a tunnel near Tallahassee so turtles could crawl under a Highway and 1.5 million for a robot to fold clothes. It took the robot 25 minutes to fold one towel.

Why do I bring that up?  I don’t trust a government for solutions to a problem. The obesity of our children is a systemic problem that is a cultural challenge. The destiny of the next generation should not be in the government’s hands. We don’t belong in a police state. If they want to safe the children’s life, than come up with a plan that doesn’t mask a symptom of today’s lifestyles.

The Obesity Problem

The obesity problem in the young isn’t just putting a child in a high-risk environment, it’s about creating the environment. The parents are themselves many times the victim of the environment.  What’s going around is an incomprehensible corporate profit plan, that is making us sick. By identifying the culprits which are the food sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors, along with a denatured food supply we may know who is at fault.

Removing Children From the Family

Should we take children out of home that are said to have ADHD or are hyperactive. Why not the parents are feeding them. Medical experts say that parents can prevent extreme obesity. The answer is yes if they don’t mind moving to another country.

How To Handle the Problem

Most parents haven’t even had a beginner’s guide to how to handle the food supply. They can’t make informed decisions for many reasons. They are not involved in the engineering of the food. They are preoccupied with trying to make ends meet. They are an undeserved group that now may have personalized intervention, children taken away from them. Blending in to society may become easier as the CEO’s of major food manufacturing plants expand their product line. In that case there will be too many obese children to deal with.

What they did in the military is cut out the sit ups for the overweight soldiers and offer them yoga exercises instead. We should do something productive for the obese children of today. Compassion and caring can mean taking the food commercials off the airway that cater to children, We can offer the parents courses on food preparation, and send in nutritionally trained cooks, with the fruits, vegetables and good quality protein for healthy meals.

Where would we get the money? It would come from selling off the shrimp treadmills, retiring the towel folding robots, and sell the tunnel to a group that wants to see the turtles cross the road. Better yet, fine the CEO’s of the companies enough to cover the costs.

DEPRESSION

When depression is a sign of the times, and it may require a novel approach. The world’s extensive problems are recognized as part of the global platform that we travel. The emerging trend for the viewer is that the world is heading south. We are living in a very complicated world, and never before have the challenges covered the spectrum from bleak to dismal. Because the U.S. has been the epicenter of much of the world, both financially and politically, we are now seeing our power eroding. The ambiguity of our position as the world’s supper power has eroded confidence in our ability to endure.

WORLD

The world is creating new models and the rules are changing. What does the rest of the world think about our actions? They are not waiting for the upside, most are appalled at some of our policies. Americas’ attitude is becoming one of resigned acceptance, with prices climbing and limited job opportunities we are seeing a depressed economy.

Is there a reason to suggest that depression is a sign of the times? The indicators are there, the most frequent sentiment is a loss of confidence in both personal and domestic ability to navigate. Understanding the adverse conditions and loss of momentum from those at the helm and those at the bottom rungs lowers the expectations. The worst part of the economic downturn is the emerging trend of contraction rather than expansion.

CONTROL

Depression will occur when you are not in control of your life. Another way to look at it is eventually you have to start your engine; opening up the possibility of retreating is not an option. Control and action are all that remain, calling all self-directed people who want to avoid prescriptive solutions, to finally play the game right.

CORPORATE GREED

Part of the debacle of our great country was at the hands of both political and corporate giants. It is prudent to say that the healthcare crisis is a reflection of corporate greed. The excess expenditure, and price gauging of the pharmaceutical industry, and the greedy insurance companies have spawned an out of control rise in healthcare or what should be termed sick care.

ON YOUR TERMS

Navigating depression is a matter of not turning around the world, but leading your life on your terms. So far it has been following directives. Now, the issue is one of price for having been led astray. We are at a critical junction in time, where our institutions have been exposed, and we are debating where to go from here. In healthcare we are exploring trading one system for another, and yet both don’t give us the ability for a better life.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Health and wellness isn’t the focus of big pharma. This is an industry that distorts studies, uses scary tactics to get us to toe the line. The healthcare crisis should have made us smarter and wiser. What we have is turf wars. In the medical sector it is stiff regulations, about what we can or can’t consume. and treatments that are controlled by government agencies. Take note it is about the rate of return for both the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

Do you know the odds of any of the test or treatments helping you without harming you?  For that matter how are the people that are utilizing other methods doing?  What you need to know is available and can be accessed from your computer. It would be a mistake to let others micromanage your health, especially if they are going in the wrong direction.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is about revitalizing our health using an open market system. Today, there is an opportunity to operate independent of the healthcare industry’s domination. There are enough people who are speaking out and pioneering new and innovative thinking backed by the tools to achieve a real health revolution. If depression is a sign of the times, than this is the hope and optimistic stimulus package we need.
