healthcare

So, no matter what side of this oh so controversial debate on whether or not we should have universal healthcare for those who can't afford it, there are some things that are about to change in our country. While some changes are immediate, some will take years to implement, this signing makes it so that health insurance companies will care more about YOUR health because they are not allowed to deny coverage.

For those of you that have read my post on Michael Pollan's new book, I spoke alittle about how there is a synergy between food companies and the health insurance industry:

" 'Cheap foods have a high cost paid by the public health system,'

So even if I think that he has some slightly sexist undertones in his writings, I like (maybe love) the things that Michael Pollan has to say about food.

While watching one of my favorite shows, "The Daily Show with John Stewart" I heard the words "Food Rules" and although I didn't know he had a new book out, I knew it had to do something with good ole MP.

So the person that I am, I paused the DVR got something to eat (turkey chili and foccacia from the fresh market bag to be exact) and watched it while taking as many notes as I could muster in the short 5-7 minute interview.
