The out cry over the administration and delivery of health care is certainly warranted. I have to admit though there is one group in this debate whose unhealthy life style enjoys the luxury of being in the position to demonize insurers and politicians for not keeping in step with enabling their own unhealthy self-destruction. Lifestyles ironically contrary to the very thing so many are screaming bloody murder over, our health and well being.

Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you"). It shouldn't have been a tough choice--who wants to eat pesticide residue?--but the organic apples had been grown in California.

Really Effective Eco-Resolutions for Earth DayFeatured item: APR 18, 2008
Despite the recent spate of encouraging news from the green front, many of us still occasionally fall prey to eco-anxiety when we start thinking about the current state of our environment. But by focusing on the small changes we can make in our everyday lives, we empower ourselves to make socially responsible decisions and choices that will eventually lead to big improvements for our planet.
By driving less, flying direct and canceling junk mail, we’re actually reducing carbon emissions, fighting climate change and saving trees.
