[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1835887, member: 43196"] The real problem is society and the belief that we know better than natural selection or God and we can make anything work if we just think its right and throw some pills at it. I don't think that developing a pill over the course of 5 years or less is going to effectively change what has taken 100s of 1000s of years to evolve. People can't simply replace eating meat with vegetables and processed vegetable oil because it has been deemed 'bad for you' by someone. Like it or not, our bodies developed as meat eaters and we are dependent upon doing that in so many ways that science hasn't even begun to conceive of, let alone find an alternative to that is supposedly better. As for saying this meat or that meat is bad for you, why is it bad for you? Oh, you mean that component of the meat that someone thought they could improve upon about 50 years ago so we started selectively breeding to 'enhance' it. I'd say 99% of our health problems are self inflicted and we only make them worse with our 'miracle cures'. I need to work on my diet for my weight. I have done this over the past 2 years with interesting results though. There are all these drugs out there now designed to address weight (help you lose weight). I started using a treadmill about an hour a day about 6 days a week two years ago. My weight dropped a little, but not as much as I would have liked it to. However, my BP is now that of a 25 year old and my resting pulse is 40-44. I have other things that I need to get checked that supposedly become problematic with being overweight, but based solely on my weight, society would have you believe that my BP an pulse rate should be considerably higher than what is considered healthy, and yet, my BP is that of a 25 year old and a nurse a month ago almost asked me if I had a pacemaker, but instead said to me, you work out, don't you? (I was seeing the nurse because I had a slight headache. First time I had been to the clinic in the federal building. I had no idea they were darn near going to give me a complete physical to get two Tylenol). [/QUOTE]
