Issues Way More Important Than the Candidates

Sometimes we get too caught up in the election coverage issues that we tend lose sight on what matters most.

Perhaps pause the election agenda for a moment.... there are three more pressing issues that we as citizens should press forward on and they are the right to have access to clean food, breathe clean air and drink clean uncontaminated water. 

As sophisticated as we are in the U.S. and which we allegedly focus on the rights of our citizens, why are these three unalienable rights so knowingly tampered with? How come our society, which boasts so much technology for all of our citizens, cannot address the simplest life essentials and progress towards optimal health rather that away from it?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we invest simply one percent of all the billions that we throw into healthcare (which technically is ‘sick care’) and clean up our water supplies (eliminate chlorination and fluoridation), clean up our air and promote intelligent local farming?
