Cures for various cancers are being stifled over greed

It's an election year and tempers flare as "hot" topics are discussed. One of the most controversial topics centers on interrogation tactics.

I have a question: Why is it that alarms go off when we talk about the methods used to interrogate a suspect or terrorist, but we give full consent to the unbelievable torture that cancer victims are subjected to each and every day?

It's a proven fact that cures for many types of cancer have been around for years, and that prevention could ward off cancer and most diseases; however, the drug companies, the FDA, the cattle and dairy industries, and major food manufacturers flood the media with half-truths, which in turn allows them to line their pockets.

It's all about greed.

If you take the time to read research that has been peer reviewed, and has not been funded by a drug company or any PAC or industry lobbyist that's in the hip pocket of a politician, you'd quickly realize that we are our own worst enemy.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is indeed that, sad! It has turned the majority of our society into overweight/obese, sickly individuals, yet I don't hear a public outcry for change.

Mention a whole food, plant-based diet and most will cringe and give excuses of why it's "impossible" or "it just doesn't fit my lifestyle."

I challenge you to get the facts; read "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell or "The Engine 2 Diet" by Rip Esselstyn. Both are easy to read and understand, and will direct you to legitimate studies/information that will lead you to good health.

Many endurance/extreme athletes are crossing over and openly share their testimonies.

If you don't want to read a book, go to: ForksOverKnives.com or engine2diet.com and you'll find more than enough facts to substantiate my claim.
