[QUOTE="Jisp, post: 252, member: 1553"] I haven't read this particular book. But I do have great respect for Andrew Weil. I also have a lot to say on this subject that is from my own reading and research. Did you know that for any calorie of mass produced food we eat it takes something like 100 times the number of calories of energy to create? Have you ever thought about how much oil is used to get the food you buy all packaged and clean and neat into the supermarket? Compare that to food that is bought fresh from a local farmer and taken home and prepared in your kitchen. The system we have created is non-sustainable and will eventually lead to our entire collapse as a civilization. It is a known fact that foods like high fructose corn syrup causes illness...but nobody stops it because if we stopped it a whole interconnected system of factories and farming and transportation and jobs and supermarkets would also collapse. It does not matter that it is non-sustainable in the long run, we are incapable as a society of shifting our habits to stop this insanity. How does our health care fit in? Well in order for people to take control over their health care and live better we have to feed them with nutritionally healthy inexpensive foods, make sure that they get enough sleep and keep them relatively stress free. We need to simply improve their quality of life starting with the basics. But that is not the American way and so it is unlikely to happen overnight. Is the government and medical establishment keeping alternative medicine from us. NOWAY. Whole Foods, organic processed foods, vitamins and homeopathic remedies are a multimillion dollar business these days. But don't be decieved into the quality of that organic lettuce you just bought trucked all the way from some factury farm in Florida. What the government is doing is not supporting a healthy life style....and the reason for that is that a healthy lifestyle uses a lot less oil ($$$$$) then a non-healthy lifestyle. That is my take on this topic [/QUOTE]
