I always try to tell people that tiny things can lead to big results, and to look for the little hinges on which the big doors swing. For instance, one tiny little thing I’d do if I were President would be to push recognition of stevia, the natural sweetener, which the FDA refuses to let us know about.

What would be the domino effect? Less sugar everywhere, less obesity, less health problems, less diabetes, healthier Americans … all because of the recognition and permission to use one natural sweetener that is far far better than sugar on so many different levels. You have to think of the domino effect of tiny acts to see how to change the world for the better.

By the way, there’s a new soft drink made from stevia called ZEVIA. Can’t wait to try it.

And another thing while I’m at it … the labeling rules of the FDA forbid manufacturers from telling you if they did NOT use hormones in their milk production, or their food was NOT irradiated and all sorts of other things we want to know about. Why outlaw such disclosures? Because the FDA bows to big business rather than the public, and big business doesn’t want us to know about the healthier options so we’d buy them..

Such small legislative changes like this could revolutionize the nation. That’s how you should think….what small thing can I do that would have tremendous results in benefitting the public?  I’m sure you could collect tons of ideas like this that cost absolutely nothing and yet the ramifications are so gigantically beneficial that we’re stupid for not doing them. Makes you wonder sometimes if someone isn’t being compensated  or rewarded in some way to keep everyone from being healthier.
