Trillions are spent to make us sick, keep us sick, and treat us for being sick. RFK JR says, "Everyone profits off a sick child." We forget in our national healthcare debates that 80% of ALL money spent in healthcare today in USA is for chronic conditions, 80% of which are preventable, like obesity & diabetes
