I have written several blogs (here and here)in the last few months explaining the extreme good fortune I have had to be born in the most fortuitous time in human history. Commerce has thrived and brought good health along with it.
As I have thought about these blogs and the good fortune, I am reminded that there is one single issue that has not been resolved so far in my lifetime.
I am talking about obesity. I understand what created modern obesity. It is the Darwinian competition of food products on our supermarket shelves that have evolved into the most appealing and simultaneously fattening products that we humans can imagine.
The problem we now have is that there is not, and will not be, any restraint on temptation from the food products that are offered to us.
Since I have put on an undesirable number of pounds as I have aged, since my mid-50s, I would like to find a product that either restrains my desire to eat or makes sure that the delicious calories do not turn into subcutaneous fat.
I don't know how long I have to live and whether such a product will appear on the market during my remaining years. I just wanted my readers to know that the world at this date is not perfect. If this dream product arrived in the next few years it would be much appreciated. But in many ways I have been too heavy for too many years to fully appreciate its benefits.
