 >> Premiers promote lifestyle; policies create misery [CA]
Rabble.ca, September 15, 2004
The best means of promoting health involves Canadians being informed
as to the primary determinants of health in a society. They can then
consider - and attempt to influence - the political and economic forces
that influence these determinants. Rather than being told to improve
their lifestyles, Canadians need to reflect upon the kind of society
in which they wish to live and work.
