To fix healthcare we need less technology, not more. People are getting cancer and diabetes because we've gone from eating nutrient dense high quality food to industrially processed corn, soy, and wheat-based junk. We have to stop the vilification of red meat, promote the health benefits of grass-fed meat, and try to get factory farms to employ some sort of holistic management [1]. Not only can we feed the world in a healthful manner this way, we can also reverse climate change.
Big pharma isn't interested in curing anything. It's financially beneficial to them to keep us sick. Why help them even more?

- hvs 13y agoOh, is soy a villain this week? I'm sorry, but it's so hard to keep up with which wacked out unscientific belief about food I'm supposed to believe from day to day.
- tsax 13y agoI can understand your frustration. The key is not to follow the headlines but do deep research on each claim. For example, intake of dietary saturated fat is simply not associated with heart disease. http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009.27725.short http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009... Most soy consumption traditionally has been in Asia in small quantities, and after fermentation (soy sauce, miso etc). Vegan widespread usage of soy does not fit this pattern. http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert/studies-showing-adverse-effects-of-soy http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert/studies-showing-advers...
