  1. "LOOK to Norway" might be a more sustainable prescription than moving there :). emulate

  2. ah, but there may be a loophole: MEDICAL INSURANCE. it can be in an insurance company's best interest to keep it's clients healthy via preventative health-care measures. In this way an insurance company can play the role of the nanny. Dunno if it works in practice, an idea though.

  3. flying pigs would be wonderful, you could shoot dinner outof the sky! Or. Flying pigs could be horrifying, because pig farming is a major source of infectious disease in humans. But this may simply be because of the forced proximity intensive farming creates. Perhaps wild (and flying) pigs would be more solitary animals. But if not, and if they end up breeding like rabbits, we could be exposing ourselves to a bird-flu like GLOBAL pandemic disaster. anyway, DFTBA.

  5. unhealthy fast food is more often cheaper and more convenient than healthy food. When she says the patients lack food, she probably more-so means they lack HEALTHY food, and perhaps also lack the time and education to seek it out.

  6. and it's not just work that it effects. It's understood that health problems such as childhood malnutrition effect brain development and intelligence levels, extrapolate this out to a national level and it effects the overall ability of a nation to excel and innovate. What if Einstein was malnourished as a child? :(

  8. yes, i heard what she said, i'm used to people treating the terms "food", "real food" and "healthy food" as interchange when speaking to already-health-conscious audiences. We're talking about obesity, to be blunt: a lack of food would somewhat break the laws of thermodynamics in this situation.

  9. yeah it's pretty funny, since all these people have to do is look to the rest of the developed world where these problems kinda don't exist - as they solved them DECADES AGO with publicly funded healthcare, financial assistance, and other such "socialised" (is that the word?) government programs. America has been left behind, i'd never want to live there it sounds utterly horrid.
