Why so little attention to prevention.

[Woodznutz]

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

As a senior I get requests for donations to 'find a cure' for everything from the African mumps to the dishpan hands nearly every day.

So why are there so few organizations that focus their efforts on prevention?

Because they're lazy and stupid.

Because the public doesn’t want to hear it.

They want fad diets and wimpy exercise programs that will allow them to eat crappy and stay sedentary.

Sensible diets and working out isn’t fun.
