This past week there have been more Olympic preparations in Las Vegas for next year’s 2008 Olympics in China.
The U.S. basketball team has been killing (figuratively speaking) the international teams starting by more than 50 points per game though coming down to 27 points in a game this week.
Meanwhile at home in the U.S. American obstetricians are driving the numbers the other direction with up to 29 per cent of births now by Caesarean section as revealed the past week in a story about the National Center for Health Statistics. That number is “far higher than what public health experts say is appropriate” according to the news report.
Revealed in these same reports is that U.S. obstetricians are killing (literally speaking) mothers during childbirth “at the highest rate in decades” according to “new government figures”.
The “news” propaganda report from Associated Propagandaess (AP) had a stealth headline of ‘Experts: U.S. childbirth deaths on rise’. That makes it sound like children dying as in infant mortality which is very old news. The story and the study actually dealt with maternal childbirth deaths on rise which news is not nearly so old.
The ‘experts’ so-called tried to pin the rap on women being fat pigs. They didn’t use that exact language but that was the primary emphasis referred to as “increasing maternal obesity” while the rising rate of C-sections (later in the report noted as having “an inherent risk”) was mentioned as an afterthought.
Doctors scheduling C-sections for convenience sake is part of the problem. It is so much more convenient to schedule than to be awakened in the middle of the night. I hear the young, pregnant women speaking of this in my traveling round and about. They think it is a good thing. They don’t know any better. After all it came from the M.Deity.
However, let’s take a closer look at the blame-it-on-the-women “increasing maternal obesity” rap. Sodas “Made in America” are almost exclusively sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or diet varieties (ladies?) with Nutrasweet (aspartame).
Fructose is natural fruit sugar isn’t it? Corn is All-American isn’t it? Ah, but HFCS is an artificial creation “Made in the U.S.A.” by United States Department of Agriculture (money) mad scientists and is processed completely different than sugar resulting in more fat.
Another government approved artificial is the Nutrasweet (aspartame) sweetener that increases pear shaped figures and in recent weeks indicted as contributing to obesity. It too is promoted by the unholy trinity of Big Government, Big Pharma and Big Media acting together as one for their own vested interests decidedly not in the very best interests of your and of yours.
So just who is really to blame for this tragic state of affairs? Honestly, at least a portion does come back to women – men, too – for abdicating personal responsibility to “The Man” i.e. authorities (so-called) with their man made “better ideas” in opposition to whole foods as provided by the true creator for these bodies he so fearfully and wonderfully made.
Back to basics anyone?
Live and learn … or perhaps that would better be turned around as LEARN and LIVE.
