RE: Concerning Stats About Our Broken Medical System
Thank you @aka-alias. I'm studying herbalism myself because I do believe there is a LOT of medicinal properties in plants - some which science has identified and some that it has not. HOWEVER, I will also agree that 90% of diseases and illnesses and even chronic pain disorders can be mitigated, if not cured, with diet and exercise. Humans were meant to walk all day, chasing the antelope, and forage on what we could find - mainly plants, roots and nuts. Our sedentary lifestyles and processed, sugar and salt filled diets are killing us. But that's a rant for a different day!
I'm not sure privatization is the right idea for the US, mainly because our government has already proven to be slow, full of waste, inefficient, and corrupt. In theory it would be great, but I can see it being a nightmare in practice. Maybe I'm too cynical.
Thank's for your reply. I agree with all you state in it.
I tend to cook my own food and not go for pre-made foodstuffs as I find them to sweet/salty and bland in taste.
I guess privatization might be more risky in a country like the US that is a lot larger and has a lot more people living in it compared to the Netherlands.
Oh, what i forgot to add in my first reply. I like your generous application of sauce in your post! Thank you for that!
Happy to! I think stats have more of an impact when they're cited. Otherwise it's just "something I read on the internet".
