THE WELLNESS REVOLUTION

By Paul Zane Pilzer. New York: John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 2002.

Why We Need A Revolution: I have no doubt there is a conspiracy between the food industry and the drug industry.

Soy milk isn’t actually very good for you.

I wouldn’t put things such as nutritional supplements and fitness clubs in the same category as cosmetic surgery and Viagra.

What You Need To Know About Food: The manipulation of our food supply wasn’t done with incidious intent? Are you kidding?

Making Your Fortune In Food: These days, most farms are owned by corporations, not “rich farmers.”

The reason milk is so bad for you these days and doesn’t prevent osteoperosis is because it is pasteurized and has had other things done to it to give it a longer shelf life. People should drink raw milk instead.

I bet Mama Cass was one of the warmest people in the world, given how fat she was. Heat in the winter, baby.

Most soy beans nowadays are genetically modified.

Making Your Fortune in Wellness Distribution: People are bucking goofy, though. They’ll spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation. However, they won’t spend 80 dollars on a nutritional supplement that could help their arthritis because it’s not covered by their company health plan. People won’t buy a certain kind of supplement even though it has better bioavailability because it isn’t in pill form an thus takes a whole thirty seconds longer to take. People will complain they don’t like the fiz that comes when a supplement in powder form is dissolved in water but they drink pop and beer.

Epilogue: Unlimited Wellness: Adam Smith was an occultist who is burning in hell.

Appendix A: In a way, there is no such thing as good and bad fat. The problem is our society doesn’t work it off.

The Body Mass Index is misleading because they keep lowering the number at which a person qualifies as obese. Also, a person with little body fat and a large muscle mass should not be called overweight by any stretch of the imagination.

Appendix B: If Monkeyboy has his way, if you have a preexisting medical condition, they’ll kill you.
