Why Big Business Wants You to Stay Fat

Keeping fat equals big business and lots of profits for the food and drug industry.  There is only one way to keep from being a constant paying customer to these industries and that is to lose weight and get to a healthy weight level.

The drug industry knows that people who are overweight, fat and obese have more medical symptoms and consume more non-prescription and prescription drugs than people who are healthy. There is a financial motivation to keep people overweight and unhealthy.

You would think this would be an outrage but in essence it is not. These drug and food companies are publicly traded companies and their only purpose is to do everything they can to increase shareholder values in their stock. The only goal is to sell more products. The goal is not to improve public health.  That is why you need to read labels very carefully. You just don’t know what they have put in the food to extend its shelf life so it is economically viable.

The drug companies are not much better. A cure or prevention for disease caused by obesity is the lowest thing on their priority list.  Doing so would put them out of business.

Deceptive advertising is often used with food. Many so called diet foods are not diet foods at all, but instead have high amounts of sugar or fat that is concealed somehow. High amounts of sodium are also often cleverly concealed in ingredient jargon on the side of a can, bottle or box.

The effects of this false and tricky marketing have had a bad effect on our population. People are fatter, getting sicker and buying more prescription drugs than ever before in history.  Then as a result the prescription results have the side effect of weight gain.  It is a vicious cycle that also drives many consumers to an early grave.

Over the last twenty to thirty years there has been lots of evidence that has been gathered about how poor nutrition causes disease.  Everyone from the surgeon general to government panels to academic scientists know that poor nutrient absorption causes obesity and illness.  More people die because of what they eat rather than through the use of tobacco, accidents or any other factor.

There is nothing better that could be done for America’s people to prevent pain and suffering than to tell them to eat less animal and dairy products, less highly refined plant products and instead base their diets on whole foods.

The government has the information now that meat, dairy and refined flour products are bad for you but like cigarettes, that also kill, there will be no stopping these industries. These energies are so huge that the government must turn a blind eye to their infractions. That is why it is so important for you as an individual to take your own health and fitness into your own hands.  It is the only way to prevent you from gaining weight, becoming toxic and developing all of the problems in life associated with bad food and prescription drugs.
