Yes, I worded this to elicit a response. I spend time working at the nursing home, and in reviewing charts I often wonder, if they were not on so many drugs and had so many operations would they still be alive. Why are we living longer, is it the lives we lead or is it medicine and science. I know if i was born 100 years ago I would have not seen my first birthday. I also wonder about immunizations, are they making us weaker as a race or stonger. Or is it just creating superbugs like MRSA and the like.
My opinion is one of balance and trying to eat the good stuff that the earth provides, and try to enjpy yourself along the way. If someone makes it for you or the directions are on a box that it came in I try to avoid it.
