A NEW RECIPE - in old bottles

Here's the new recipe for a fit and healthy Australia, all cut and dried, end of story.

1. Pour another $5B down the medical black hole.

2. Give every kid a computer and then coop them up in cages force-feeding them maths and

    science.

3. Spend 80% of the Australian Sports Commission's budget on sport for the few.

Repeat in 2010.

In three years time, I'll lay London to a brick

- the crisis in public hospitals will be bigger and better than it is today

- more people with be fronting up to surgeries with crook backs, high blood pressure, diabetes,

  headaches, sleeplessness, sleep apnoea, crook gut, low libido, feeling dreadful, reflux, piles ...

- doctors will still be complaining that they've got too many customers

- more kids will be denied the pleasure of eating a peanut butter sandwich.

You can't solve 21st Century problems with 20th Century solutions.

LAUGHING, NOT WHINGING

The doctors complaining about too many customers always amuses me. How many other small businesses do you reckon are out there whining about the fact that they've got too many customers? Hello! 

It's another catch 69. If you dole out prescriptions to mask symptoms, people keep coming back. Sounds like a good little earner to me. They should be laughing not whinging.

In the mean time stay tuned, highly tuned and if you want to find out what you can do to keep yourself in pretty good nick - at least until you're 68, click here.
