Why not encourage young people to eat fatty food, drive recklessly and start smoking?
The overweight person dies at fifty and the pensions crisis disappears.
Think of some of the advertisements you would see if it were taken up by the government.
Believe me, economists have thought about it. Here is a lengthy analysis of death rates, smoking incidence, wage earning, etc. among smokers and the effect on social security, complete with tables and equations. Their conclusion: smokers do, in fact, transfer money to non-smokers via social security.
But that’s not the whole story. Fatty food and smoking cause chronic diseases, not acute ones. That is, you die long and slow, from cancer and diabetes. Even heart disease doesn’t usually get you the first time, and you spend years visiting doctors, consuming cholesterol drugs, and even having bypass surgery. That costs a lot of money, some of it coming out of Medicare and Medicaid. More, ultimately, than we save in Social Security.
Reckless driving is a bit different. It causes acute problems, i.e. instant death. But there are two problems with that. While it removes you from the social security pool, it does so when you’re young, before you’ve paid into Social Security. Society paid for your education all the way through high school, and were hoping to see you make some money and pay some taxes.
Maybe you just want to buy muscle cars with bad brakes for all of the 60 year olds, but that’s the other problem: car crashes take out other people, too. Including young people, who as we just said we need to pay into the Social Security system. It also costs a lot in road closures, slowing the economy in general.
So I applaud you for thinking outside the box, but when you look at the big picture it does more harm than good.

How Healthy Food And Lifestyle Can Effect Our Skin
We all want to be healthy, wealthy and beautiful. But when it comes to talking about beauty, some people know a lot about skin care, while others haven’t a clue what our skin is designed for.
When we reach the age that we begin to see fine lines and wrinkles, we start to look for solutions. I may not be a doctor, but I studied anatomy and physiology while at university and I know that our skin deserves all the nutrition we can give it. If anything, we have to feed our skin natural, healthy, raw food instead of processed food if we expect it to stand up to wind and sun.
The skin normally renews its cells every 28 days. We can talk all day long about lotions and creams, but applying a cream with nutrients to the surface of our skin does not ensure that those nutrients actually penetrate into our skin cells.
I want to share a personal story with you. A couple of years ago my 30-year-old son fell ill and I was shocked by the doctors’ diagnoses. One said that his intestines were abnormally long and the other said he had warm tape! I couldn’t believe it.
Neither could my son. Rejecting what the doctors had said, he decided to clean his body. At first, he visited doctors who specialized in natural medicine. They put him on a diet, but all that did was cause him to lose a lot of weight. He then turned to reading about alternative medicine, followed their recipes and instructions, and cleaned his liver. As a result, he was able to get rid of 30 stones from his liver.
When I visited my son in Europe recently, I was amazed at how he looked so radiant and healthy, his skin practically glowing. He told me that he ate five times a day, eating nothing but natural, balanced food and forgoing anything that had added salt or sugar, as well as no smoked foods or white bread, and drank fresh juice every day.
His story typifies how a clean body and good nutrients can affect our skin. By ensuring that our body has the nutrients it needs, and by including a few key herbs, oils and other remedies in our regular routine, we can not only quickly improve the quality of our skin, but we can also look good as well as feel young and healthy. Essential fatty acids are vital to our skin. Good-quality oils help to keep skin lubricated and healthy overall, since what happens inside your body determines the quality of your skin.
While the main goal is to detoxify our bodies for our own good health and a healthy skin, it is also important to create good eating habits for our children. A child is a mirror of our own habits, and by giving our babies some bites of cake, pizza or overcooked food rather than fruits and vegetables when they start to eat real food, we are creating some very bad habits for them. The answer, of course, is education.
Processing removes essential nutrients from foods, may also destroy nutrients or change them into toxic substances. We need to teach our kids to eat those foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and plums. A wide variety of different foods is always recommended for a healthy balanced diet so that the body receives the vast complement of nutrients it needs for good health. Replace processed foods with fresh ones, don’t eat junk food, don’t drink soft drinks, stay away from sugar, and you’ll be well on your way looking younger.
Simply eat a well-balanced and varied diet that includes more then 25 ingredients per day and have a healthy lifestyle. Believe me, it will help to keep your skin in good condition. Also learn how to read product labels to understand better what is healthy for our skin and what is not.

Should junk food advertising be banned? Like with smoking ads?
Junk food is arguably a bigger killer than smoking, especially since more people eat junk food than smoke these days. I have 2 grandparents who’ve smoked all their lives, they’re 90 now, and both still going strong.
A lardy who eats Wendy’s and Burger King all their life would be lucky to make 45. I don’t know about you but, I only get the urgency or craving to eat junk food when I see it advertised. I’m sure a ban on its advertisement would help a lot of people fight eating it.
Absolutely.It and smoking cost tax payers billions each year in health care taxes but more to the point,they cost millions of lives too….

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
