This is a great TED conference video on superior health, and healing. Specifically, a diet for the Mitochondria in the cells. We the 99% need a healthy economic and governmental body. This also means taking ownership of ones body and feeding it right to have a sharp mind and body.
The rich get richer on keeping us dependent on junk food and drugs. Not too hard to figure out!!!

Thank you for this. Forwarded to my friend with MS
So a good diet? Why don't you actually post from the TED website?
Yes, I didn’t get this from the TED site. It is popping up on Google from dozens of sites. The point is that fast foods are killing the 99% while the rich are getting richer from it. If you grow a carrot and eat it, the big agrabusiness doesn't make a cent from you!!!!
In U.S, more than 50,000,000 people depend on fast food. Over 110 billion dollars are spent by Americans alone for different types of fast food.
Fast foods are the foods which can be prepared and served very rapidly. Characteristically, fast food is referred as food that sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the consumer in a form of package for take-out/take-away. Nowadays, fast food consumption has increased dramatically. Daily unhealthy eating and inactivity are responsible for more deaths than other all combined factors including alcohol, illicit use of drugs, sexual behavior, and firearms. Fast food statistics suggest that fast food is not good for your health while eating more than once a week.

Oh Jesus not this fast food shit. I get that poor families have a hard time paying for better food but there are middle class citizens that eat out at McDonalds and similar restaurants 3 or 4 times a week.
I feel you are mixing lots of disinformation together and missing the point of the TED talk. If you are just trying to be argumentative, I can respect that too.
"The point is that fast foods are killing the 99% while the rich are getting richer from it"
Maybe this is why I'm probably the biggest 'salad monster' you'll ever meet and that was what a good friend many moons ago in high school called me because once they introduced a salad bar I couldn't resist having that vs. the nasty school lunch I could have a few times a week out of my odd and after school jobs money.
Nothing I love more than a big bowl of mixed greens, raw crunchy cut up things like onions, carrots, purple cabbage, sunchokes,celery,bell peppers, peppers/Habaneros, nuts, seeds, maybe some cheese along with my choice of one of many favorite salad dressings.
Very similar to Mediterranean diet which I was mostly raised on and is simple, tasty and agreeable to most.
Also, produce can actually take less out of your pocketbook if you grow your own or grow in a community/shared garden. If you can, dry and freeze what you grow it costs much less.
