Thank you, mom, for that wise advice. With names like Ensure, Boost, and Suplical, these products are being aimed at Baby Boomers and their parents. The commercials are usually set in some garden, where mother and daughter are drinking their supplement out of a convenient metal container. Hell, Grandma, if you want to prevent osteoporosis use that garden of yours to grow broccoli and cabbage. Health does not come out of a can, a bottle, or any other man made disposable.
Health comes from the soil.
If more people took the time to grow their own food, maybe they would actually realize what a wonderful planet we live on and stop taking advantage of the limited natural resources. Well, your own body is as local as you can get. Everything you consume is a political act. If we are going to make a difference we must start by taking small steps. By refusing to support industry that is detrimental to our health as well as the environment, we will be sending a message to the puppets we have sent to Washington.
