WTF are they making that much money, thats impossible, why dont they get shut down?
The government can't prosecute the 'health' food industry. They could and do say they will cure cancer, and the government does nothing. I personally think they should be fully prosecuted for false advertising. But then again if they were, they'd just not specificaly say that it cures cancer, merely have a 'guest' on the show who is claiming that it does.
I got rid of a tv a year ago, as nothing on that idiot box was the truth. From out right lies on the nightly news, to fake guests on all the talk shows, to sili
ads, I just wasn't enjoying it all. The month before I cancelled my tv I watched maybe 15 minutes of it, then turned it off as it was so idiotic.
Also I view that life isn't a spectator sport, as the corporate people want you to think. If I wanted to play baseball I would. I wouldn't watch some steroid junkies hitting a ball with an add every five minutes.
I used to be so pro capitalism, like I argued for it everywhere, I read so many books on it and so on. The problem is if helping you makes profit, they help you, but most of the time it doesn't so they don't.
Doctors make money when you stay on a drug your whole life. Not when you take a drug for two weeks then are cured for your life. They make tons of money on those that are chronically ill. People like me who haven't been sick in 2.5 years, they make nothing on. I got better by taking their advice on everything and forgetting it. Then researching myself.
It turns out not only was what they were doing not helping, it was actualy putting me in a state of constant sickness. Now do I think each doctor sits there and thinks of how he can make you sick longterm? No I don't I believe its the very nature of organizations that creates that. Anyone who has read extensively on organizational psychology will back me up on this.
