A sad but true time

It goes unnoticed by the twenty-something and thirty-something crowd, but anyone older than this get a sad reality check. In the supermarket, there are certain items that have nostolgic sentiment such as Mrs. Butterworth and Vermont Made Syrup. Circa 1950s and even 1970s, these items were okay, but nowadays, they are as taboo as a Pepsi and a Coke. Why? Because of that wonderful four-word phrase 'high fructose corn syrup'.
This is why we have to open our eyes and look out for number One (ourselves) because it's oh-so-obvious that the FDA does not give a damn about us. It's all about the almighty buck.
It's important to start caring for ourselves and take the time to really know what's inside food. Take the time to know what that food will do and what that pill will do once you swallow it. Of course that pill will do something to make you forget the pain, but there is a massive cost -SIDE EFFECTS!
That one pill travels to every area in the body until it reaches its target. This is why there may be neurological disorders, digestive disorders, rash, etc...You get the point? Then when a person gets side effects, they are so accustomed to that quick fix like a heroin addict, that they go back to the Doc and gets something to fix the side effect ailment. This sounds fun! Wow! How many meds can I be on by the end of the week? Month?
Where does it stop? Find a holistic health practitioner or a holistic nutritionist or a naturopathic doctor, or any other modality.
