The upcoming election does not interest me, and here’s why. I don’t believe that either side understands the importance of healing our people. Seems to me, we are sick, depressed, angry, obsessive, confused and tired, and we need something, fast.
Here are my Five Changes To A Much Better Country…
- Outlaw High Fructose Corn Syrup and NaCl in all foods, and ban all foods with more than 250 mg sodium and 25mg sugar per serving. Not ingredients (such as sweeteners) mind you, nor condiments (such as ketchup), but packaged goods such as potato chips, soup, desserts and fast food items. This will immediately prompt food producers to reduce serving sizes, adjust to healthier sweeteners such as agave nectar, maple syrup and rice syrup, and to healthier salt sources such as sea salt, shoyu and sea weeds, which have been shown to have a higher mineral content for better health.
- Require daily Physical Education or Yoga/Meditation/Nature Walk Studies in all schools P-12. This will reduce stress and tantrums, give teachers a break, improve digestion and mood, and make learning easier. It will also reduce obesity and diabetes.
- Stop subsidies to meat and dairy producers. The organic grains and vegetables are being ignored by more than half of the population. These are the people that are obese, special needs, and jobless.
- Ban GMO Foods such as Corn and Soy. These cause allergies, and possibly much greater problems, and set a bad precedent. We are playing with fire here, and people are dying.
- Make it mandatory for HMOs etc. to pay for Naturopathy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Reiki, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, and Marriage Counseling. This would save countless millions on wasted medical tests and procedures, medications, and sick days. It would also save lives and marriages, and improve productivity.
Can you imagine the world after four years of this?
I have to call you on this as your post is ludicrous! The issues before our nation are far bigger than how much sodium is in a can of peas or weather citizens should be forced to endure procedures with little to no scientific basis! You are thinking in a very small minded way.
Food choices and medical choices should be left to the individual – NOT government. The word here is “choice”. I will eat whatever I want, exercise if and when I want to, and seek whatever medical choices I choose. This is America my friend with “free choice”. Not a dictatorship that issues edicts about food and health care.
Your blog is generally good, but as of today, I have begun to wonder—-
Again, I’m not forcing anything, but asking for insurers to cover well-documented and non-invasive treatments, with far fewer side effects than chemo, mammograms, even PSA tests. Please also note that government has grown enormously over the past few decades, I am for small government and freedom to be natural and healthy.
Rediculous thinking. Will never happen – thank goodness. Forced Reflexology?? Get real. This is a democracy with endless choices. If I don’t want to eat certain foods, I won’t. If I do, I will. Get real.
As for forced medical care, especially some of the things you suggest. I will pass.
You are an alarmist!!
I’m asking for insurance to cover these useful services that many get, nothing more. We need to be open to new ideas and change, otherwise we’d never have the automobile, iPod or antibiotics either. The book you are linking to is funny, but only if you don’t know someone who is suffering from a lifetime of bad eating. Let it be known that we are ALL footing the bill for many of these people.
What you propose is nuts! Are you the emperor now? Don’t “Ban” anything! That’s what is done in dictatorships. Any books you want to ban?? Religions? If people want to eat junk food that is their choice!! As for the therapies you suggest and the ones you demean you are lost. If you have cancer do you want chemo or craniosacral therapy?? Get real man..
As for the candidates they will spend zero time on this nonsense because it is very small stuff in the big picture. You seem to know nothing about special needs and not eating meat is a long way from cure or therapy. It is now the 21st century – time to get real and open your eyes. I find your proposal narrow and closed minded. Improvement needed. I give you a D–
