Having Eyes to See
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2

A new trend in consciousness raising about smoking began in 1968 when William Talman made a shocking public service announcement for the American Cancer Society. Talman had played Hamilton Burger on the tv series, Perry Mason. He was dying of lung cancer at 53, leaving behind a wife and 6 young children.

According to Barron H. Lerner, a Columbia University professor [Globe Newspaper Company], Talman's message won praise among viewers, many of whom vividly remembered it for decades and credited it for getting them to quite smoking.

Yul Brynner, who died of lung cancer in 1985, helped reverse the glamour image in the late 80s with a chilling PSA which began, "Now that I'm dead ... please don't smoke."

If you're wondering what this has to do with spiritual development and seeing things clearly, let me continue.

If you didn't go through the process of consciousness raising with cigarette smoking, here's an example from the 21st Century. The same thing is occurring with obesity. The same long, time consuming process has begun. This time you can be a part of it, waking up slowly to what is before your very eyes.

I visited Russia this summer and people in Russia are not overweight. I really noticed it when I got back home. I have a friend from India who moved here because he wanted to be in a country where "even the poor people are fat."

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Fast food chains are being sued to hold them accountable for selling food high in fat, salt, sugar, and cholesterol content, "despite studies showing a link between consuming such foods and obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes, elevated cholesterol intake, related cancers, and other health problems" and despite a recent published finding by the Surgeon General that obesity costs Americans almost as much money per year as cigarette related illnesses.

John F. Banzhaf III (http://banzhaf.net) is the nationally-known professor and practitioner of public interest law who is bringing these legal actions to the public forum.

The Chicago Tribune reports that suits initiated by Banzhof's students have already forced McDonald's to apologize for "duping" people, and pay out over $12 million in damages. McDonald's claimed their French fries were "vegetarian". [They are fried in animal fat.]

According to ABCNEWS Internet Ventures, "a second law suit filed by a disgruntled customer in Florida, outraged when she learned that a so-called low-calorie and low-fat ice cream had at least three times the calories and fat she was led to believe, has likewise been granted class action status by a judge, and could involve one million customers."

Banzhof comments, "We know from tobacco litigation that initial suits have real difficulties because the public has real problems accepting new ideas and new concepts. It took us many years to get us to the point of educating juries about tobacco, so now they are [learning about the fast food industry]."

In one of the finer uses of the evolutionary nature of law, Americans are being shown -- until they can "see" for themselves -- the connection between junk food and poor health. We are also being shown the correlation between weight gain and disastrous health consequences which we know intuitively. Obesity, watching television and eating junk food and go together like Whoppers and SuperSizeItPlease.

Connecting the dots can help us to correct misapprehensions from childhood and see the world around us with new eyes. It is these new eyes of seeing that are both the goal and the process of enlightenment.
