2. I think addiction is a huge factor but I also think societal norms are huge. We don't even know what eating healthfully is. We're raised on junk food, advertised it, and sold it. But if societal norms were different. If we had to go out and hide our, I dunno, oreos. And everyone was eating vegetables and talking about it in relation to health. And we were exposed to it. There are smokers today; and we finally have a societal attitude that's adverse to smoking (but very positive towards sugar, fried foods, etc). It's kinda like permaculture. We could build homes that heat and cool themselves with basic physics, low cool tubes, high vents. Lots of glass and sun in the winter and little awnings that shade in the summer (when the sun is higher) or become shaded when grape vines leaf out. South facing green houses. Basic composting – you just throw food scraps on the ground and cover 'em with leaves, people. And get high quality soil out. And we could grow food forests in our subdivisions and veggies instead of our lawns. We could have food everywhere. Require less money. And less transportation and live closer to work if we did commute. And walk or ride bikes. And design cities so that was safe and pleasant to do so. But, when people think of what they can do right now, they tend to see everything other than sitting in their car and eating junk food as work. Perhaps if we spoke to their pocket books, the amount of time they had, and the lack of debt they had, they might get more on board. Not to mention their health! We also need positive examples and pioneers (amazing that people living as humans (animals) were designed have to be exceptional – we are in the most ridiculous of places). I'm very grateful for Fuhrman (among others) paving the way for me. I went whole plant food in 2003, thanks in large part to him. Just had a blueberry, apple, lemon, pecan, and single date salad with a head of read leaf lettuce. A bowl of garbanzo bean tomato curry soup. And a big bowl of frozen mango topped with almond butter. The diet couldn't be more delicious. But you have to get the junk out of your house and do a little bit. I wonder if people like to do what everyone else is doing even if it means hurting themselves and others. How much better to be a bright spot and help others or at least help yourself and not help others hurt themselves.
