Book Reviews of Sick Planet: Corporate Food and Medicine

Book Review: More of the "New Eugenics" is Disguised as "Environmentalism"
Summary: 1 Stars

Blaming our health care crisis on Doctor's who are being too thorough (too many MRI's) is a poor excuse for why health care is expensive. Giving little regard to how prevention is the key to health and well being, Stan Cox has a fight in this book but it is not surprisingly misdirected.
Most of our higher learning has been hijacked by Eugenicists who now call themselves Environmentalist. Sadly, this book is another part of our mis- educated academic 'elite', who are now devoting much wasted energy into saving the world by planned parenthood, abortion, Genetically modified and altered food (GMO's), and unfortunately the only way to solve it is by letting people die (with poor health care, birth control, and EUGENICS).
It is sorry to see that Stan has been institutionalized in a prestigious line of compulsory mis-education that has been plaguing K-12-Phd programs. I wonder what kind of Franken Foods he created while he was a graduate student-I hope whatever happens with the garbage his Pro-Monsanto based crops create they don't destroy our heirloom (non GMO, natural) crops after cross pollinating. Don't buy this book, stay away from this machine.
