Within this they will touch upon: - The rise of chronic disease even as infectious disease has declined. - How modern day employment often adversely affects health (sedentary jobs, long hours, minimal attention to diet due to time constraints, poor sleep and stress). - Other ways that consumerism adversely affects health (environmental degradation, engineering out the need for exercise by chasing convenience instead of happiness). - How any person can escape the toxic mix of factors that push people toward unhealthy living. - How society as a whole can also escape this toxic mix of factors by implementing a few sensible policies.
