Media Ignores Medical Developements

The mainstream news media is ignoring the most important medical developments ever. Over the last 3 years major medical studies have shown that cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity can be avoided and sometimes cured with diet. These studies are specifically directed at reduction of red meat consumption, avoidance of grilled meat, avoidance of processed meat, reduction in sugar and salt dominated processed food and increased exercise. Good public health has huge implications for our National debt crisis since the cost of heath care coupled with government health care entitlement policy have come together to overwhelm the Nations economy. A recent update on May 23 by the World Cancer Research Fund/ American Cancer Research Institute went unreported. The components of meat production, over fertilization of corn, and manure generated by CAFO’s are the two major causes of nutrient pollution Nationwide, Fertilizer and manure are destroying our rivers and estuaries. Loss of topsoil and sediment pollution is a result of short cuts in soil management practiced by grain farmers to promote cheap meat and dairy. These issues were cited in a recent National Academies of Science paper, reported by the Baltimore Sun. Why is the story of meat and its strong connection to pollution, health, and the economy being ignored? Please give me your thoughts.
