Exclamation Big Business and Governments

I am a capitalist (in training) but don't believe wealth has to be gained by harming others etc. Unfortunately, it does happen.
The worst part though is that we poor mortals are under the misguided impression that we live in democracies and our governments and health organisations inform us and look after our well being! Atkins and Taub have shown that is not the case. They are not alone. Dr Samuel Epstien is another, as are authors Ransom & Day. I'm not one for conspiracy theories as such, but stuff I've learned recently really drives home the need for us all to be more informed and take responibility for our own health and lives.
Thank goodness people like Atkins and Epstien have gone past fruitlessly trying to influence governments directly and made so much public noise that the authorities cannot shut them down. Heaps of points for having the conviction to do what 99.9% of the population don't have the courage to do.
