One huge problem is people on the edge having to fill prescriptions, many of which could be avoided and some are crucial. Once the common knowledge in best-selling books dribbles up to the medical profession about diabetes cause and effect, and the nutritional considerations, lots of money can be saved in heart, diabetes and other medicines, offset by spending more money on proper food.

The lens I see things through is overpopulation. I tend not to see as much the stuff other people see. People can't exploit people who are not desparately poor...well, not as much. mg
