Yes, you are correct. I believe the majority of people will not change. Those who have been health minded in the past will continue to be health minded. And those who place a high value on eating for pleasure will continue eating what they eat. So it will be all too easy for USF to throw up their hands and say, "we can't make people eat a healthy diet if they don't want to." And that will be the end of that. That's exactly what I predict they will do. So then they will get down to what they really want to do: They will concentrate on the doctor-patient relationship. That won't hurt the infrastructure that's already in place. If anything it will help the doctoring business. They will also concentrate on building up the medical, nursing home, assisted living and other such infrastructure. And the developer, no doubt, will happily come in to help that effort. That's what I think it's really all about. For example, if someone is unable to live on their own, one might conclude that they will be healthier in a good nursing home or assisted living facility. And they will say that they did it in the name of making Villagers healthier.
Well, that's my opinion.
Must stop again: More later.
