My favorite quote and why I like it.
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." -Albert Einstein
Here's why I like this quote: It fits with one of the biggest health issues we face today, the poor health status of Americans. The kind of thinking that got us into this state of poor health will not bring us back to good health. The thinking has got to change.
But how is that supposed to happen when most people have a vested interest in the status quo? Some are now mindlessly parroting food industry spokesmen who say, "we all have to die of something eventually". It's true but they say it in an attempt to nullify anything that anyone might say to improve health status standards.
It represents mindless thinking and won't solve the health issues we face as a society. If everyone is going to die, why do we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on such things as cancer research?
If everyone is going to die, why build all the many Villages Clinics and search for the very best doctors?
Here's another true saying that comes from industry spokesmen: "People need to take personal responsibility." It has been repeated endlessly for decades. But the food industry never worries when anyone says this because they know it has absolutely no effect.
As the above quote says, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." -Albert Einstein
