Wishing For A Kick-Arse Rainmaker? Stop Right Now!


Do you know that a whopping 35.7% of US adults are considered to be obese?

Over 5% are considered to be morbidly obese and 74% overweight.

But interestingly, these ratios are much worse at Wal Mart. It seems almost everyone is overweight there for some reason.

Why? Well, look at people's shopping carts and you'll see why.

They buy all sorts of crap that make them fatter and fatter.

Of course, Wal Mart's low prices are not merely attractive but addictive. It seems that when it comes to food, North Americans want high quantity at low, low prices.

They want food to fill them not to nourish them.

 But what is the cause of this fatty problem? The cause is that people obtain their health information from the wrong sources.

They trust the media that has been feeding them a low fat grain-based (thus high carb) diet for a donkey's years.

People read "expert" health advice in their favourite tabloids, and then go to Wal-Mart to buy the recommended rubbish at obscenely low prices.

And now the media, which is in cahoots with both the government and pharmaceutical companies, has fulfilled its mission of creating millions of sick people, so Big Pharma has a huge and "hungry" market for more and more medication.

And due to the high revenue, the government can collect more taxes.

Not to mention the employees of those Big Pharma companies as future voters.

Then people get fatter and sicker and Big Pharma makes even more money on them.

The government can collect its tax money and the media has plenty of news to blow out of proportion.

And that is what happens when people fail to check the origin of the health advice they rely on.

And the something similar happens in client acquisition for consulting firms too.

And this is what we discuss in this month's brain-fryingly electrifying episode of Commando Consulting, entitled, Wishing For A Kick-Arse Rainmaker? Stop Right Now!.

Enjoy!
