Obesity Is Good For Capitalism

By feeding America and the rest of the world unhealthy foods, it means big bucks.

First, excess carbohydrates along with process foods become addictive. This leads to over eating which results in one becoming overweight.

Besides increased sales for grain and starch producers, food manufactures that refine wheat and corn products, family restaurants, and fast food establishments… it is also good news for clothing manufacturers and retail stores.

Although the new thing today for acceptance of being overweight to a point of obesity, the diet industry greatly appreciates the newfound and repeat business it is enjoying.

Drug manufacture’s sales are increasing exponentially as obesity develops into type 2 diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease, etc.

Having a large global market with a few dollars from each person in some fashion or another works out to big and obscene profits. No wonder a behind the scene campaign of lying, cheating, and betraying everybody who needs to eat is going on every second of every day. This is called “Greed” at its best.

There are two types of victims here: 1) those who can afford to eat properly, and 2) those that cannot and must eat the food that is available.

The group that can eat properly, but do not may have a legitimate reason for eating wrong (maybe they do not know they do not know); and the group that can only eat what is available (whether they know or not know what is correct) is unacceptable.

Now, here is the catch 22 for the American people: when shopping at a large supermarket that carries up to 50,000 items in the store, if the decision was to only buy the correct foods, it would be disastrous and eventually bankrupt that supermarket. Why? Because not be buying grains, starches, and process foods would be the norm.

However, on the other side of the fence is the obesity and chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease, etc. as a result of this eating habit is going to not only bankrupt our country but the rest of the world. Moreover, I am not just referring to the economy, but the health of the majority of individuals throughout the world.

This is why I believe that everyone, both business and humans should face up to this and work together solving the inevitable dooms day before it is too late.

I know that there are many creative and intelligent people in the world that can find acceptable ways to get a handle on this epidemic and turn it around while replacing bad foods with good foods.

One last thing: if the business community cannot operate a business for profit without greed as the main factor for motivation, then they must use greed for finding a way to process foods that are good, with being the first.
