Very dry Eric. "lots of things to die from" .... as things stand being human is fatal.

I would agree that it is largley down to us, and movements in public understanding and perception which requires education and knowledge, and informed media commentary, but who has the funds to pay for most lunches and lobbyists.

Governement is more complex - power money funding vast complexity concentration of power the need to belong a whole range of diverse motivations and human frailties since I suspect in varying degrees the earliest days produces outcomes which at a core level were not the intentions of the individuals concerned. Yes public funding should be available and for prevention research too (Eg the history of trans fats) but one can see a whole raft of reasons why it will likely end up somewhere else.
