Why Are We So Unhealthy? Our System Makes Us Sick & Keeps Us Sick

healthCharles Hugh Smith – That America is in the throes of a systemic health crisis can no longer be denied. According to the U.S. Department of Health And Human Services, more than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are overweight or obese. (Overweight is typically defined as a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher. A BMI of 24.9 is not exactly featherweight; I would have to add 30 pounds to reach a BMI of 24.9. )

  • stroke

They are the ones who you should stop listening to since they are running with official stories, unofficial stories, exaggerations, hearsay and combining them all into a haze of information with an agenda to promote half truths while ceasing the opportunity to exploit a very vulnerable and ignorant public.

This is one of the first times I am seeing a separation of what I considered reputable journalists into two camps: Those who are savvy to the ploy and reporting on the psychological operation being played out; and those who are so caught up in the element of drama and anxiety, that they are promoting their own agenda and unable to empower their readers.
