Every health, social, political and ecological problem facing us today can be attributed to two things: How we eat and where we live. Almost all of the decisions that make up those two things came about after World War II.
Changing these two things will end wars, make the poor more wealthy, make us healthier, smarter, happier, save our planet and our species from extinction.
The scary part is that most of these decisions are predetermined, decided years ago by a very small group of people - such a limited number that you could count them on both hands. They were not dictators, and, I would venture were not part of some grand conspiracy nor looking to destroy all living creatures and the planet on which they reside (which is what is happening). Rather, they made small choices that were probably thought of as progress.
My focus is on the United States. However, it is far from limited to that. Since the nation's ascension to cultural and economic supremacy after World War II, our methods and practices have been spread throughout the globe, influencing to every corner of civilization. When Bangladesh wants to plan a town, Ethiopia to study hunger or Uzbekistan to create an economic policy, it looks to the United States for answers. Either through all of those throughout the world that we have educated and have returned to their home country, through direct communication, or through NGO's filled with U.S. educated or influenced personnel.
Every health, social, political and ecological ailment that is present in the world today can be attributed to two things: How we eat and where we live. Think about that. This will be the focus of this blog.
