A Healthy Diet Is The Best Health Care Plan Available

"If I were to be followed, I don't want to give my kids fast food and all unnatural foods, foods high in preservatives, sodium, sugar, etc. If it is possible that I plant my own organic vegetables at my own backyard, I will (but I don't own a backyard). If anyone can start a healthy diet as early I doubt if he or she gets sick unless the cause comes from other sources ... If.... If... Oh, a lot of ifs... One thing's for sure. Discipline! Yes, we must take responsibility for our own health. We cannot just depend on others to take care of us all the time. HEALTH is WEALTH!"

If we can get more people discussing, touting, shouting, and screaming about the importance of a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as the solution for our health care dilemma...then we might have a chance. A chance at saving our health, saving our strained national budget (is there a budget?), and reversing the impending doom that seems to be lurking over the future of our children's health. We don't need more money "thrown" at the 'problem'. The problem isn't a lack of access to health care, but is a lack of nutrition. Good nutrition.

We must take responsibility for our own health. We can't expect to continue on the path of unhealthy choices without suffering the consequences. Since makers of all the processed foods, fast foods, and soft drinks aren't going to stop anytime soon; and since so many unhealthy products are actually addictive, we have to take charge of our own health. And it starts by consuming more fruits and vegetables, busting our diet vices, and implementing a healthy weight loss plan.
