Re: Interesting Show On PBS Tonight

Interesting show. The kind I hate to watch because it presents so many thing I can do nothing about (re: children health).

Another interesting point is the thing we CAN do something about - obesity - is shrouded with so many, I have to call, religious habits - reverence of food.

Recently my 82yo bro who has gained weight in the retirement home, because of so many "gourmet" foods, said: "What else is there to do when your 92 yo?"

It's these attitudes that drive the obesity.

You know why fish is better than beef? Because absolutely NO ONE will sell or order a 32 oz cattleman's special of fish. It's too expensive even to steal from the ocean and transport thousands of miles.

I recently opened my last can of Alaskan wild salmon for the neighbors cat, and found it tasted quite good - not like salmon at all. I don't know what kind of fish it is, and I like the idea of not having to pick out the bones. And the cat ate it too.

Really salty and no headache - low tyramines. So if they work on the salt and the tyras, they might have a good product. Maybe someday they'll tell us it's real name.

And quit painting the farmed salmon.

Regards.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/rxforsurvival/series/about/episodes.htmlRx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge : Back to the Basics; Ever since sailors noticed that scurvy could be prevented with citrus fruits, it has been clear that illness could be caused by a lack of certain nutrients. While nutrient-enriched products have reduced diseases caused by vitamin deficiency in the developed countries, the problem continues to plague the developing world. And many in poorer countries suffer from the twin problems of poor nutrition and unsafe water, which create a disease burden that is almost unbearable. Back to the Basics explores the connection between health and the essential requirements that so many people take for granted. It also examines how an overabundance of nutrition - in the form of over-consumption - is causing an epidemic of obesity that is spreading across the globe. Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge : How Safe Are We? During the past 100 years, life expectancy more than doubled in developed countries. In the last few decades, however, thirty new infectious diseases have emerged and one of them - AIDS - is becoming perhaps the most devastating epidemic in history. New diseases travel the globe with unprecedented rapidity, and older killers that once seemed controllable are roaring back with a vengeance. How Safe Are We? examines the most critical threats we face today - including avian flu - and the pressing need to strengthen global public health systems.
