"Much more so than the human body, capitalism is marvelously adaptive, able to turn the problems it creates into new business opportunities: diet pills, heart bypass operations, insulin pumps, bariatric surgery. But though fast food may be good business for the health care industry, the cost to society -an estimated $250 billion a year in diet-related health care costs and rising rapidly- cannot be sustained indefinitely."
— Pollan, Michael. In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, Paperback edition, pages 135-136. Penguin Books.
