Bloody cancer

When I think of Juliette, my good friend who died of cancer, Michelle, on Close Up last night & TM threads, of her having to explain to her children, to face the potential of leaving them so young, my daily gripes & inaction pale in comparison and I am renewed in my resolve against depression seeping in again. I have come a long way and understand me & life more now. I guess in that I also have to allow those low ebb days even though some have their days limited and I feel I should make the most of it all. Why though are we not as a society, as a world, going back to basics? Why are companies & governments still denying that many food/beauty additives & preservatives are dangerous?? Why is our food still being sprayed with chemicals? When will organic products & produce become the norm and be priced so people can afford to be healthy? When will our governments outlaw cigarettes, we KNOW for an absolute certainty that they kill. Would you go for a drive if you KNEW with certainty that you would be hit, badly injured and consequently die slowly and in pain in hospital? Unlikely!!
