Health & Diet

Health is not merely something fixed by a doctor or pill when we become ill. It is our wholeness reflected by our lifestyles, emotions, energies and psychology. Unless we restore wholeness, we will never experience optimum health. Modern medicine is about money not wholeness.

There are advantages to being unhealthy: we make serious money for the pharmaceutical companies and their salesmen (aka doctors); society does not have to support us in our old age because we die younger; our likely processed and junk food dietary choices boost profits for the mass food industry; our clouded and distracted minds are less likely to question the status quo; and our physical impairments from illness and obesity will make us docile citizens living sedentary lives as we sit at home being programmed by the television set (on what to buy, who to vote for and what to believe), or sit in the pub or bar consuming alcohol to escape the harsh realities of this world. Yes, there certainly are advantages in being unhealthy — it is just unfortunate that none of these are in our favour. >>>
