A short disclaimer
This post is written around my opinions and I do not intend to bring evidence of any kind for what is written here. You may take it as an opinion but science exists to support most of my claims and if you’re to read some of my other posts, you will know I usually add many references to sources regarding my claims. I will not be providing any external sources in this post.
The governing powers
It is not a secret and certainly nothing new that our lives are governed by very influential and very resourceful forces. For the purpose of this post, I will call these forces ‘The Influential’.
What troubles me most is the relation to health.
Until the late 30s of the 20th century, our health had no powerful forces ruling and controlling it. People were relatively healthy and did not have much to say about health.
There was a general belief as with many other things in life and there were no health experts to keep us spinning around like madmen trying to invest in our health only to get even sicker, like what we see happening around us today.
The most problematic of all health issues, the one that all major illnesses hide behind today – obesity, did not exist before that time.
If we only look at the USA today, every third US citizen is obese.
A little bit of history
So, what happened in the late 30s of the 20th century that changed all that?
Three very rich and very powerful men decided they should profit from our health so they went ahead and institutionalized our health system, which got us to where we are today. Many many people are getting rich from dipping their hands into this health institute these three men created, only to eventually make us sicker and sell us a lot of things we don’t actually need “so we stay healthy” (that is their claim).
Ride-along
What happened after was not surprising. Since people bought this new health institution very easily and with little doubt, two other very important and very lucrative things in our lives became institutionalized as well, our food and our fitness. Both of these being sold to the public as ‘health in a bottle’ just like the health industry keeps doing it.
It’s true, we’ve been cultivating food for more than 10,000 years now, but until this unwritten pact between the health industry, the food industry and the fitness industry came to be, you would not have called this, for example, “food”:
‘The Influential’
Today, with all the media reach, there is little left untouched by ‘The influential’.
They influence the MSM (MainStream Media), they influence social media, they control our governments (all politicians need money to get elected), they control the conversation for the most part.
Humans are more divided than ever and it serves ‘The influential’.
Hot debates over politics, racial issues, global warming, viruses, green energy, digital currencies, electric cars, the consumption of meat etc., serve ‘The influential’ in diverting the conversation to irrelevant places so no real change could happen in the world and they will continue to get richer and more influential with time.
Is it so surprising that most people learn their ‘facts’ from these sources?
Is it really so surprising that all this hardly changed over the course of human history?
The facts
As I wrote at the beginning of this post, I will not be bringing any outside sources into this post.
I only wish to make a distinction with what we see around us.
With more and more people around us looking like this:
After eating like this:
And training like this:
Shouldn’t you at least start to question what you think you know about health and the people who try to sell it to you?
Stay educated,
