‘The U.S. Public Health Service revealed the rate of health deterioration of the American people. Out of 100 participating nations in the world, America was the healthiest in 1900. In 1920, we dropped to the second highest nation. During WWII, we went back to number one – that’s when sugar and meat were hard to obtain and family vegetable gardens were common. In 1978, we dropped to 79th. In 1980 we were 95!! In 1987 we hit rock-bottom – that’s number 100 on the list. Yet we are said to be the wealthiest nation in the world. Are we also the most gullible? Who or what is responsible?’
