One of the major issues on my mind is the oil spill and impact it will have on health, business, sea life, environment and more. I want to share my excitement in finding this video of a technology back by Kevin Costner, that could clean the water. 

Michael Pollan's column in The New York Times is right on target. We should focus our attention on diet and food production. That could dramatically reduce health care costs.  I highly recommend this article. 

At the beginning of the 20th century, the life expectancy for men and women was about 48 years. By 1950, the average life expectancy jumped to 71 years for women, 66 for men. Today, women are expected to live to 80, men to 75. 

Longer life span can be attributed to better nutrition, healthcare, disease prevention and treatment, but it's hard to believe that this trend of living longer will continue. In the United States, roughly 2/3 of the population is overweight and nearly 30% is considered clinically obese (including children).
