akvanden Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 17 minutes ago, Zambroski said: There is infinitely more profit in treating the illness than finding a cure. Plus, if the treatment doesn't work, it can be blamed on the complexity of the illness. "Covid variants". "Flu strains". There's infinitely more profit for the company, and it's leadership, that finds a cure. And if they don't, someone else will eat their lunch. Same as any industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most their health starts with their own personal behavior. As a country we suck at that.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 10 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 10 CDC estimates 70% of HC costs in the US are Obesity related illness/disease. Then only puts a $170 billion price tag on it yet our HC costs are $4.5 trillion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's working on alternatives forms of energy right now either, because there's obviously more money in pumping oil forever. Nor the holy grail of nuclear fusion, because near limitless power.... well we obviously can't have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever any entity brings up more tightly regulating the food supply they get labeled as a communist or some other kind of fake label.

So yes, no one has any clue wtf you think you are thinking. It's definitely nonsense though. If it weren't you'd be the first to try to enlighten everyone but even with backup from your whole flock you won't be able to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just laughed out loud to the displeasure of my wife. I dismember the bird, sous vide the meat, bake the skin crispy separate, make Joel Robuchon's potatoes, stuffing from leftover homemade sourdough, use exotic mushrooms in the green bean "hot dish" and so on. Still don't like it. The dismembering is genius though as we used to always buy a turkey and do it a few days before so that you don't have to kill the one you eat for Thanksgiving to have endless gravy....and by far the best part of turkey is the gravy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
