Let’s see if I have this partially right-
We have a food industry that is catering to cravings and food addictions and gluttony. Then, we have people who are not taking responsibility for their own health in the way they eat and consume whatever their flesh is craving. “All I care about is that it tastes good.”
So, over a few decades we have a population of gluttonous people who are sitting in front of the television with their convenience comfort foods and automated lifestyles instead of physical exercise. We’re also becoming entertainment junkies to boot. That is another subject all together. This has created a very lazy, sick, debilitated population who are expecting the big government to take care of them when they get sick. Then, they wonder why the medical care system is overwhelmed. Then, they wonder why the insurance system is overwhelmed and unaffordable.
Then, for the doctors, they see 150 obese whiner cry babies every week begging for their problems to go away with a pill or a potion and pretty soon you have burned out doctors that become AMA protocol robots. How many doctor visits have you been to where the wait time is an hour or two past your appointment time and your exam room experience is answering questions to a tap and a click on the computer screen and the doctor does a 5 minute drop in?
The system will never fix itself. In fact, it will eventually implode unless “we, the people” do something about it, or it evolves into complete socialized medicine and we will have lost all our individual freedom. Satan wants this to happen. He wants you to be sick, sluggish, low energy- he wants you to die young. He wants you dependent on “the system.” It will make you easy to control and manipulate. Eventually, like the other mandate that is going around these days, there will eventually be a mandate for other new technology efforts to identify you, monitor you and control you with some sort of implantable device.
It’s time to preach about gluttony and the lack of self control in the church. It’s time to teach about individual responsibilities regarding our health and well-being. That will go over like a lead balloon to a “if it doesn’t taste good, I’m not going to eat it” generation.
It’s time for the food industry to be overhauled from the farm to the market. It’s time for junk food manufacturers to have a major wake up call and pay fines for selling poison to a stressed out, dependent, hungry, consumer generation.
Come on folks, what else are we going to do besides sit there, get fat and sick, pop pills and die?
It’s up to us to do something about this.
