Wellness versus Ignorance by Dr. Donald A. Miller

If you ask most Americans whether wellness is important,

most will agree. Parents will usually say that family health

is one of their major concerns. Yet most are rather ignorant

about nutrition information. Blame our public education

system, false or misleading reporting, and ads, ads, ads.

Recent news increasingly reports that obesity is epidemic in

the United States, and that it is the major cause of early

death, after tobacco. Yet the solution is really simple.

It used to be that people who claimed the simple life is the

key to anti aging would be met with a big yawn, or strong

doubt, or rude noises. Now, such reliable sources of health

information as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

are saying that good diet and moderate exercise really are

the keys to long life.

The same ad blasters who helped get us into health troubles

are eager to sell us pills, potions, books, quack cures that

dance all around the truth. After all, folks really want

magic bullets to fix problems, so they won't have to take

responsibility for the consequences of their own choices.

It's not the merchants' fault if they get rich off public

stupidity. Or is it?

People, WAKE UP!

America is a country in which even the poor people are FAT.

History tells us that this is a very unusual situation.

It is a principle of physics that matter-energy can neither

be created nor destroyed. Therefore, if our weight exceeds

the medical ideal, it can ONLY be from consuming more

calories than we need. The only healthy solution is to be

more careful of what we eat, and to increase our exercise.

Drugs or surgery to cheat on this equation are life
