Is it such a stretch of the imagination to remember a culture in where a garden in the backyard was common, a more sustainable and less debt-dependent way of life was normal, and the need for expensive medications to control lifestyle diseases were small, then to overlay it on top of the present day, what is now a billion-dollar industry, dispensing all manners of medications dealing with high blood pressure, stress, depression, Alzheimer's disease.
Is it a far stretch to be able to look at the present fast food lifestyles, unconcious convenience shopping and debt fuelled consumerism, where options for local food supply and sustainably grown foods are in very short supply, and to say these are a causation or signifigant contributors to the maladies experianced in our present generation and a timebomb for future generations as we struggle to deal with what pressures we are experiancing now let alone what is to come..
