State of the planet

Hello there, Salaam

Its very interesting to look at the statistics of this blog. So far we have had people from over 30 different countries looking in.  Please complete the poll. Anyway what I am curios about is that its not just from the western world that people are from. The interest in obesity, food and weight loss, so far appears to be world wide. Is consumerism catching up with everyone, the new world order is already here. The move away from individual responsibility towards state control and dependence is everywhere.

We have reduced a noble and intelligent animal into something slave like. Eating expensive, nutritionally poor food,  watching the world go by on a diet of TV ads that promote a false ideal, extracting money and information from us every second of every day.

If you get the chance to watch Jamie Oliver's food revolution on channel 4  UK then you will see the problems that will soon be every ones problem. Nations getting fat on misinformation, greed, ignorance and laziness. People have been led to believe that others can provide for their needs. The only way you can guarantee where your food has come from is to grow it yourself.

Reducing consumption across the globe may cause short term economic pain, however the long term benefits for you and the planet far out way the way things are at the moment. What do you want as an nation, a wealthy yet unhealthy population draining resources by the second. Or a poor nation with healthy people utilising the worlds harvest in a way that feeds everyone.

What makes people really happy wealth or health. Time wake up and act now
