You’ve probably noticed how health insurance companies are
encouraging their customers to exercise. One company has a billboard
promotion offering a total of 300 dollars toward the expense of gym
membership, while another gives customers free memberships to a
fitness club.
Every place you look, exercise is promoted; and if diet is mentioned
at all, it is as an afterthought and takes the form of a wishy-washy
cop-out such as “eat healthy” or “everything in moderation.”
Seems like the public is constantly being distracted away from facts
they need to know about what constitutes a truly healthy lifestyle. In
my opinion, this all points to the successful public relations campaigns
of the huge, powerful junk food companies and meat, dairy, and poultry
industries. And look how they are spreading their propaganda worldwide,
so that those in other countries want to emulate the ways of western
countries and look with disdain at many of their own more healthful
foods.
Meanwhile, obesity has become commonplace, along with the type 2
diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, strokes, et cetera, that
follow. And then there are the myriad symptoms: aches and pains,
indigestion, colds, sore throats…. You get the picture – I’m sure you
see those ads for pharmaceuticals, too.
Is it any wonder that simply going vegan is not promoted?
