Hmmm. Another interesting discussion. (I love this stuff. Should
we take it off Yak?)    (02)

What occurs to me is that we all have the incentive to stay healthy,
but it takes a serious amount of education to do so in the face
of an economic system that rewards so grandiosely those who make
an unhealthy environment.    (03)

I suspect that what you meant to say was "(so) each of us has the same
incentive to keep everyone healthy". Once businesses have a vested
interest in keeping the population healthy, instead of profiting
from disease in their pharmaceutical subsidiaries, then a healthy
environment becomes a given, and people can choose whatever is most
appealing (in terms of food, for example) without risking disease
as a consequence.    (04)
