More and more people are thinking about their health and nutrition these days. When it comes to conspiracy theories, you hear about them with the government, UFOs and even the credit crisis but did you know that some people are also calling the health and nutrition fad another conspiracy theory?
Just think about it for a minute. How many commercials for prescription medications do you see on a regular basis? How often do we see big pharmaceutical companies trying to peddle us meds that we don’t need?
Even worse is that every medication has a side-effect that then requires additional medications to help you with those side effects. It’s a never ending cycle that means more money in their pockets.
Every time you turn around there is another condition or another problem that needs to be resolved with medications. This all happens while the government sites back and watches and sees nothing wrong with this.
The average person can spend thousands by the time they reach their retirement years on prescription bills alone. This is amazing when you think about it. We are taking pills and then taking pills for our pills.
Another aspect of this that can be added to the conspiracy theory list is in relation to nutrition and agriculture. Our bodies are just not getting the nutrients they need anymore because we eat so much chemically processed foods. Even our agricultural goods are treated these days so we’re not getting fresh foods anymore.
Because we are not eating as healthy as we once did, we have to take supplements and vitamins to help us replenish these nutrients that were are not getting. While you may need to supplement your own diet with vitamins, you may not know that most people get the idea to take vitamins and which vitamins to take from the television. Commercials tell us to ask our doctors about prescriptions and also tell us we need all sorts of over the counter medications and supplements. Some might call it an epidemic as more and more people become addicted to these things.
It’s no wonder some believe this might be another conspiracy theory. As this epidemic spreads the nation and even the world, all we see is more and more companies using it to make a buck. Now it seems that everyone has something to help you be healthier, smarter, stronger or thinner.
If you can dream it up, there is a product for it. Many people believe this is why the health and nutrition industry is just another conspiracy theory.
