lol, I really like your first sentence. When I have had a few, I cut straight to the point as well.
There is a need for social programs because the ideology that supports capitalism put profit above people…as simple as I can say it. When you do this, you have ever increasing suffering and oppression in the search for more profit. This is historically proven time and time again.
The obesity is also largely due to profit driven economy. Sugar is highly addictive, want more sales, sell more sugar. Health care is for profit, more people can’t afford routine checkups or visits…more suffering. Your boss makes millions, you are barely getting by, this increases stress and you have to sacrifice more of your body to make ends meet.
