The great health disconnect.

[Woodznutz]

Information about human health is abundant and readily available to anyone who cares to access it. (However, you will rarely find a source that has all or most of the needed information in one article. You have to 'mine' many such articles to get the full picture). So, considering this why are so many so ignorant or thoughtless about their health?

My point is the "experts" often disagree on what is good or bad for you.

That glass of wine after work "to take the edge off" doesn't address the reason for the 'edge'. It's just another palliative.

Natural resources are far more important. We did the american revolution, civil war, westward expansion, and industrial revolution with half-starved parasite infested people. The longer we live, the softer we have gotten.

Why are people so ignorant about virtually every subject in the age of the internet with the entirety of cumulative human knowledge on their phones?
