The biggest threat to our health is falling out of the trinity. Whether you lose disconnect with your mind, body or spirit. The corporations that control and instill fear will diminish as does time. All you need to do is stop listening to other people and start listening to yourself. and the other parts of who you are

Obesity is our greatest threat for healthcare costs, costs to employers, quality of life, and ultimately our longevity. We need to look at preventive solutions that begin with diet. Add heavier taxes for processed foods to offset healthcare costs. And *ABSOLUTELY, * make a food pyramid that has no lobbyist influence.
