Most of the time, but not always. For example, when someone with a cold coughs in your face, there's
not much you can do about it. |

This doesn't take adequate account of the fact that in modern society many decisions are made for us
by governments and corporations. The only way to escape the consequences of this would be to return
to primitive self-sufficiency by running your own farm. Even then, the environment you live in, and
therefore the things you grow, would be affected by the choices made by corporations and
governments.
In the post-world war two period, we entered a new era of industrialized agriculture and food
production. Genuinely cooked meals based on natural food are now quite rare for many people The
nutritive value of the food we eat has massively diminished. To get the same amount of vitamin A
that a person could get from a single orange in 1950, you would need to eat 5 or 6 oranges today.
It is likely that the use of chemicals in our agriculture and food provision has had subtle
long-term health consequences for all of us. The incidence of cancer has massively increased;
obesity has ballooned; sperms counts are diminished. We just tend to accept this as normal or shrug
it off and blame people for eating too many burgers. No. This is too simple. There is something
fundamentally wrong with our entire food culture in the Western world. It is the cause of many
health problems and almost impossible to escape. |

Right, when Europeans brought diseases to Native Americans via blankets, it was because of the Life
Style of Native Americans. They should have used soap. Right. Great logic. |

Some yes, but i think there are some giant genetic components to one's health. I hope you are
correct, because i take pretty good care of myself, but my father died at 56, his dad died at 56,
and so too did his. So i am really hoping you are correct. |
