Health and Health care in America

Amazing, I just watched on CBS/ CNN nightly news how a city in North Carolina was handling the economic crisis, and in every shot was an obese person, or persons talking to the journalist. The Christian man working in the food pantry was obese, not just chubby, the spokesman for the town, also obese, there was an obese women picking up food at the food pantry with obese kids. Everybody was obese, as though that were normal. Yet, in America today in many parts of the country obesity is normal! To see just an average sized person in these particular newscast was nearly non-existent.  People what are you thinking? You are worried to death about health care insurance, yelling and screaming into the air at the Politcians and then instead you go and  eat for two people yourselves! WOW! Today in the land of the free, America we have a crisis. This crisis has many symptoms, or reasons, but it always leads back to the same ending, and that is Americans know very little about how to take care of themselves in 2009.

First, remember if you have forgotten or just don't know. Everything that you do in life, you  have had to learn since your birth.

Eating is something you learned how to do from your parents, because they  are your first teachers in your life. Therefore if your parents understand about nutrition than they can provide you with the best examples and choices for food and nutrition for you, so that you will eventually be able to make these choices, and decisions when your parents are no longer around to influence your choices.

At the same time if your parents know little or nothing about food and nutrition than they will teach you what they know and you will be stuck at the beginning of your life with poor or bad examples of what to eat, how to eat, and what eating is all about in the first place, which is to give your body nutrition to create energy or fuel.

Americans know very little, or almost nothing  about nutrition. They know somewhat about physical activity because they at least watch Professional Sports on TV, and they know that these people must stay fairly healthy to play in sports. But these people are also paid top dollar to stay healthy, they have to be in shape and healthy to compete at a very high level. But they too suffer the same ills for poor food choices once they stop working out so hard. They too can easily become fat and ill. However for the average person, if you think that you can eat poor quality food, and or too much of it and somehow balance this out with physical activity than you are sadly mistaken, because your internal system knows very well what it needs and what it does not need.
In the end your subconscience is not swayed  or fooled by your conscience mind or your conscience choices while you are awake.
Your brain knows everything that you do mentally and physically.

Kind of like the men using steroids to get strength. On the outside they look like the picture of strength, very buff, but on the inside it is physical mush, and illness and broken down organs that will deteriorate much faster than normal with fatal results.

The basics of all good health comes from the foods that  we eat at every meal, on every day of our lives.

Let me repeat that because it is the most important knowledge that you need to know to be healthy in life.

The basics of all good health come from the food that you eat, at every meal, every day of your life!

Every cell in your body, every thought generated by your brain, every motion you create comes directly from the food (energy) that you consume.

You will never, ever, with no possibility, gain weight by looking at food.

It is physically impossible.

Food, and or  nutrition has to be taken into your system  by ingesting it, or by  intravenous methods for you to use or to ever gain weight.

Weight gain can only come about by taking in of more calories than you are using up.

Of course Medical conditions can prevent the body from being able to digest, absorb, regulate the food you consume, this also would have to take into account  the waste processes in Humans as well. If your body cannot eliminate processed food thoroughly then it can become a toxic internal nightmare, which will stop the natural process of elimination and the body will retain more of what you eat.

But this is not the problem for most Americans at all.

What  the problem is  lies directly with ignorance, followed up with poor choices no matter what one knows.

Not knowing or understanding where food comes from, not understanding what is the difference of good food and food that is not good is the brunt of Human Health related ailments today.

Not knowing what the term cholesterol actually means, or what dairy products can do to your system will  not allow you to make a good choice regarding blood clouting from animal fats in your food, which can result in Heart attacks, and stroke, and so many other diseases that are preventable.
You are responsible to know how to take care of yourself.
 It is not a mystery.
You are to blame for your own poor or bad Health.
The knowledge is available for free.
You are responsible for your life, your health, your happiness and nobody else!
If you have poor health right now there is good chance that you yourself  are the cause. Most, if not all illnesses come from the type of food and nutrients that you take into your body.
Do you understand that food "is" actually the medicine that your body needs everyday?
It is difficult for me, living in the USA, the land of Knowledge, innovation,  and choices beyond our ancestors wildest imagination, to have sympathy or empathy for anybody with weight problems when the rest of the World is starving to Death!
Put the fork down, toss the Big Mac, and instead go for a walk, it could save your life, and maybe your childrens.

Leadership is doing the right thing when no one is looking!

Amazingly today our American culture has been so twisted by scandals, by greed , by winning, by racism, by bigotry, by intolerance  that the people who have the honor of leading have  they themselves turned into total disgraces.

Our Politicians, our Religious clergy, our Professional Athletes, the people that set standards for morality and ethical behavior whether they like it or not, have become the biggest bunch of failures and frauds.

The ones who yell the loudest turn out to be the biggest crooks themselves.

The ones who point fingers at others turn out to be the the worst offenders themselves.

The ones claiming their close connection to God, and religion do the most diabolical, insidious things to children and adults and can and will always  justify this repugnant behavior with even more fictional religious crap.

But of course crying on TV gets you that "get out of Jail" card from the ignorant masses of polarised sheered sheep. Those whose standards of intelligence, and excellence end with Hee Haa, and Praise the Lord TV..

The kindred Spiritual Mother Teresa's of the World are nowhere to be found in America today and except in remote places such  as in Burma, where Aung San Suu Kyi is imprisoned for protecting her people from Human rights abuses from a Military Government, or a gifted women, and women of the people  like Oprah Winfred, with such a Humanistic, loving, caring and giving nature, are people of great character to set examples for everybody to live by. There is a huge void in America for ethical leadership. Men have failed in their leadership roles in America due to their own self serving natures. What we have instead are self serving failed politicians like Michelle Bachmann and ex- politicians like Sarah Palin, that promote hate, intolerance, bigotry,  gender ignorance's by her own low level education and then justifies this lack of reasoning and knowledge with fictitious religion and a fictional God.
Then there are the enablers of TV, FOX TV for a fact, that create intolerance, racism and bigotry  to sell themselves and increase their annual salaries at the cost of all Humanity. The Hannitys, O'Reillys, Becks, Malkins all promote hate. It makes them a boatload of cash, and for modern American  Republicans, personal ethics start with money and end with money!

We have the G.W. Bushes and Dick Cheneys who promote torture in the name of God. That promote war for profit in the name of God. That promote greed in the name of God. That promote self serving behavior to acquire wealth even and most often when it is destructive to people and the Environment.
The professional sports players are among the worst offenders as role models today with their MTV attitudes of sex, drugs, and who gives a shit behavior even though their entire career and fortune is made from the people who watch them have fun, while being paid 10's of million every year.
You know what?
None of these professions or these people were ever meant to be role models in the first place anyway. They are there only  to make money, obtain power, and rule over the populations of dumbed down morons who make poor choices for themselves and then cry, it's not my fault.
So if anybody watched President's Obama's speech to the Nation on Health care last night you got a good dose of true Republican behavior. As Congressman Joe Wilson, yelled out "You Lie" to the President, this was heard around the World. It shows the contempt, racist, intolerant, bigoted behavior the far right religious base has gotten because America has an African American President. What this jerk-off said was right in line with High School behavior, disrespectful behavior of a Southern racist, the exact thing I am referring to when it comes to leadership, and fairness. This slouch Joe Wilson is but one example of the brainlessly low quality of people in Politics, and the foul stench associated with the Republican Party today..
And this blowhard, this dipshit  got caught in the act of being a religious, repugnant  republican. How nice!
So who exactly then are our role models? These are the people who do the right thing because it is the right thing and not because they make money from their actions, or become famous, or get special privileges. Doing the right thing does not hurt other people. Doing the right thing does not degrade your environment or abuse animals. Doing the right thing is knowing that you are connected to everyone and everything on Planet Earth, and that everything you do affects them and others too..
Doing the right thing when no one is looking takes personal convictions and strength.
Do you do the right thing when no one is looking?
