Americans who once could be excused a superior attitude about sanitation after traveling abroad, now come home to find that their own drinking water may come from rivers into which steel mills pour pickling liquors, paper mills disgorge wood fibers that decay and use up oxygen, and slaughterhouses dump the blood, fat and stomach contents of animals.

...Starving. In the past 20 years, Cureton has seen and tested no fewer than 20,000 middle-aged men and women, found most in poor physical shape. "Those who scored higher in tests of strength and endurance," says he, "showed a better balance of blood distribution and superior blood flow."
