Look Harder, Look Simpler

Sometimes you don't always have to look "forward" for solutions. First it was space mirrors to fight climate change and now this strategy to fight obesity. How does engineering formula seem more reasonable than getting children to walk to school or playing sports or eating vegetables and not drinking pop?

I bet that this miracle cure will be rushed to market and in 10 years (if our unfortunate civilization lasts that long) we'll see an unprecedented rise in autism or diabetes related to this latest cure. And then we'll be clamouring for another cure which scientists will be glad to provide. And then we'll be faced with another side effect and the process will begin again.

But these "innovations" are good for the economy I can already hear. But wait, the economy is killing us and our beautiful home. Perhaps some new thinking might be required. But maybe that's just me.
