Trailer - UNNATURAL CAUSES: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?

Ive been saying this and working on it for years. Im glad that its finally getting the attention it deserves.

It took me more than 2 hrs to finish the reflection paper.....

Here is an analogy that helped me understand this issue:

"The differences among flowers that are growing in fertile ground will be mainly due to genotype [genetic inheritance] differences, whereas differences among flowers growing in less fertile ground will be due to quality of the added care [by the environment] (e.g., water, fertilizer) given to these flowers." ~Daniel P. Keating

yes it does because its part of this old way.

You are assuming that there is a separation between outcomes of genetic expression and environmental factors. Epigenetics, which is what this documentary is really about, make this divide null and void.
We now know that environmental factors a person is exposed to now, can affect their ancestors for about 3 to 4 generations. That all we have the records to show now, but with mice we've been able to show environmental effects for around 5-6 generations.

There is another name for it actually, and it was and still is being used for political purposes. Lysenkoism and It is no more real science than is creationism. It basically states that giraffes acquired long necks because their ancestors stretched to reach for food. If you still believe this you are high or retarded. If you have proof that a naturally thin person who stuffs himself fat will have naturally fat children I would love to see it.

This was a very informative program.
