Just do it.

I finally made time to watch Sicko, the newest Michael Moore documentary. I know this has nothing to do with food or cooking. But since a healthy diet is our number one form of preventative medicine, I thought it pertinent to share. Sure, it's a typical Moore film filled with worst/best case scenarios and a lot of fluff aiding his point of view. But it's a real eye opener for those of who don't feel the need or importance for universal health care. As Americans, we're so fear full of uniting on an even, equal plateau, that we'd rather pay billions of dollars in medical expenses to a core group of people that are completely dicking us over. Wouldn't you rather live in country where instead of fearing your government and the corrupt powers that be, you were your government and had a choice (or at least the ability to get medical help without going bankrupt)? It's time to get down with socialism. But then again, I would probably rather live on my own island where currency was made of cupcakes and conflict resolution was handled much like these guys...

Anyways, I try to keep politics to minimum here. So watch the movie. And then maybe do some of your own research. And then, perhaps, form an educated opinion on the subject, cause it's one we will most likely face in our lifetime. (Hopefully)
