Beyond The Politics of Cancer Alone

Bill,

I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that personal choices are absolutely insignificant, not even worth considering. But, I'm all for acting on a collective scale. I'm not satisfied, for example, to see that only a small minority of people appreciate the importance of wholesome, clean food. If I had any influence in a political party, I would like it to be in the dietary department - you could call it that to make it respectable, but really I'm talking about the kitchen. I sometimes wonder if the most important important thing a political party can do might be to feed people good, wholesome food. On a regular basis. (The Black Panthers understood that, of course.) You'll think I'm crazy, I know. Most people think ideology is more important. But, what can I do? It's been my experience that even Marxists can't think straight when they're on an American diet. And, in my experience, they usually are. Overall, what Marxists need most is a lot more fresh greens. And fiber.
