A form of healthcare that takes care of everyone and is paid by everyone. Not medicine for the rich only... Call it socialized medicine but it's obvious it works. It keeps people healthy.

Why help your fellow countrymen when you can make money off of them...
Profit over health is their motto. Hell they can get all the healthcare they need.

Americans are addicted to sugar. The Agricultural Lobby has made it so. Sugar is a powerfully addictive substance that people don't even know they're consuming or how much of it is in their foods.

One 6 oz cup of Yoplait Strawberry yogurt has 104% the daily recommended amount of sugar in it. Let that sink in, if you have 1 regular yogurt with lunch, you've exceeded the amount of sugar you're supposed to have for the day. Unreal.

In fact, it was the low fat craze in food that started in the 80s that led to them adding sugar to everything. Removing the fat made food taste terrible, so they started adding a bunch of sugar to everything.
