Taking the Wrong Fork in the Road

A better way to health than creating new, expensive laws is to let good food be your medicine.

While health care is important for all, this new law is sending our nation down the wrong path. The solution is simple and we've known it for thousands of years. 

Hippocrates stated: "Let food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be food." And more recently, Dr. Michael Roizen said: "It’s much easier to do prevention than treatment."

Until we change our mindset, our culture, and our addiction to all the wrong foods, no doubt, we will be taking the path to an expensive disease care system. This is very sad because the solution is so simple and now it is bogged down in a massive government boondoggle.
