So much goes into the mouths of people. Where is the responsibility? Shall we bear individual responsiblity for our food choices? Is our health at the mercy of the chemical (food additive) manufacturers whose products fill supermarket shelves? Is our health at the hands of doctors who don’t have the time to give us preventive care?

Of course, I believe we should each be responsible to do the best we can for ourselves. I believe we should be able and allowed to make our own health care choices and decisions.

I don’t want to be part of a health care system that only treats illness, and that promotes wellness through better chemistry rather than through better decision-making by patients.

But, if I have an emergency, am I ever glad to have that same health care system!

I sincerely hope our leaders will be thoughtful in their decisions.
