Right Choices!! Cost More???

The options we have in this society are limitless. Right from food, clothing, automobiles, cell phones you name a product and there are just so many options custom made to fit the customer. This is however if you don't consider the price tag associated with each of those options available.

Let's consider the food industry, an average meal in the states is usually burgers and fries. It's a meat driven culture and how heavy the subsidies are to produce a $ 1 burger and still derive profit. On the otherhand how is this having a profound effect not just on the obesity levels but also on global warming by the transportation of there frozen meat industry. If you look at how much it costs to eat the right food, be it organic and eating fresh vegetables; it seems like you have to be rich to stay healthy.

Consider the automotive industry, there is huge SUV culture running as an integral part of the american society and I for one has always been fascinated by it. But then you think about the consequences of that society which is built on certain principles. I find nothing wrong with owning many vehicles if you could afford it but the greater majority of the society would be benefited if there was a public transit system that worked.

I am not complaining that the mass transit does not operate on time but the cost to buy a metro card is nearly being the same with no difference among income classes is going to build a society who is going to believe that in order to experience a good life, we need to make more money.

Now this is going to make people buy things on credit, have more stuff even if you could not afford it otherwise. Take up career options which are monetary driven and no wonder the society would then be comprised of invidual who are always running without knowing what they are runnning for.

So, for the better of human civilization and be an example to the rest of the world, People need to realise a deeper stigma in the mindset of people. We have an urge to want more and only when we realise and make sense of our needs, we as citizens will make the right options, elect the right leaders and rebuild the society in which there is no need to discuss about the very basic needs of human being met.

Global warming, Energy inadequacy, Obesity should be tackled by us not stimulated by us.
