Obesity Surgery Mounts Among Teens - A "Rat
Race" Tragedy
By
Michael Haaren
All the data point toward
US children developing more and more pathologies from Rat Race living.
The latest? A tripling of
obesity surgery among teens.
Our children don’t play outside nearly as much as they used to, and
they’re spending more and more time sitting in cars. They eat fewer
home-cooked meals. They are handed over to strangers for
institutionalization when they are scarcely weeks old, and when they
begin to “act up” in class, they are drugged.
Here in the US, we need a dramatic and profound reorientation in the
way we live. It’s bad for us, for our children, and for our planet.
