Paul Hawken Zitate

When cattle ranchers clear rain forests to raise beef to sell to fast-food chains that make hamburgers to sell to Americans, who have the highest rate of heart disease in the world (and spend the most money per GNP on health care), we can say easily that business is no longer developing the world. We have become its predator.

Wenn Viehzüchter Regenwälder roden, um Rindfleisch für den Verkauf an Fastfood-Ketten aufzubauen, die Hamburger an Amerikaner verkaufen, die die höchste Herzkrankheitsrate der Welt aufweisen (und das meiste Geld pro BIP für die Gesundheitsfürsorge ausgeben), können wir das Man kann leicht sagen, dass das Geschäft die Welt nicht mehr entwickelt. Wir sind zu seinem Raubtier geworden.

People who are in a position of finding out that they're at risk for some illness, whether it's breast cancer, or heart disease, are afraid to get that information - even though it might be useful to them - because of fears that they'll lose their health insurance or their job.

If you have the feeling of choice, if you feel free, you will be better off. And when I say better off I mean that if people feel they have control over their lives, they call in for fewer sick days from work. They have a lesser probability of having a heart attack or stroke.

The purpose of fear, clearly, is to help you get away - which it does. If your heart rate increases, there is more blood pumping so you can use that blood to fuel your muscles to run away. Oxygen is sent to the lungs so you can run fast. Pupils dilating help you see in the dark. All of that prepares your body to fight or escape.
