We are fast becoming the fattest and sickest industrialized country in world history.
This would be tragic in any case, but it is especially so because we know exactly how to bring down the costs of health care while dramatically improving our health.
the single most effective step most people can take to improve their health is to eat a healthier diet.
We’d be less dependent on insurance companies and doctors, and more dependent on our own health-giving choices.
The typical American diet is producing devastating rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It’s making us sick, and it’s bankrupting our families, our companies, and our government. If you were to design a diet to promote heart disease, cancer and diabetes, you’d be hard pressed to do better than what many of us in the US eat today.
