Read the article below and think about it a bit . How we thought of that at the turn of the century and how we think about it today. Are there many differences in our today's life?
CAN WE LIVE LONGER?
Scientists say that in the future people will live longer. With healthier lifestyles and better medical care the average person will live to 90 or 100 instead of 70 and 75 like today.When the human genome is decoded, we'll probably live up to 150. Incurable diseases will be cured and "bad' genes replaced.
But that's tomorrow. And today, we continue to stuff ourselves with fast food chips and pizzas, hamburgers and hot dogs .we are always in the hurry. We have no time to enjoy a home-cooked dinner with family and friends. We want to eat now and we want to eat fast.
What is tasty is not always healthy.
Doctors say that chips and pizzas are
fattening, cola spoils our teeth and coffee shortens our lives.
If we eat too much,we'll become obese,and obesity leads to heart disease,diabetes and other serious illnesses.But the world today is getting fatter and fatter.America is the world's leader in obesity,but Europe is quickly catching up.
Lack of exercise is another serious problem. We spend hours in front of our computers and TV-s.Few of us do morning exercises.We walk less,because we prefer to use cars or public transportation .
Research shows, however, that young people who don't take enough exercise often suffer from heart attacks.
It's common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our
lives dramatically. Cigarette-smoking,for example ,kills more then 3 million people worldwide every year. Many of them past away from lung cancer.Some of them aren't even smoking. They are people who live or work with heavy smokers.
Yet many young people smoke and drink. Why?One answer is that tobacco and drinks companies invest enormous amount of money in advertising their products.For them cigarette and alcoholic beverages mean money. For us they mean disease and even death.
We all figure out that healthier we are,the better we feel.The better we feel,the loner we live. So that why not take care of ourselves.

But unfortunately in our days we've face with even more serious threat to our health . The widespread distribution of genetically modified products has become an even greater problem.Foods high in trans fats and modified proteins flooded supermarkets.But food without genetically modified objects is becoming more expensive and not more affordable.How scientists are going to solve this problem remains a great mystery
Yes,u absolutely right,the problem have since then become even more.I just wanted to activate my generation for discussion.
And I began with the well-known facts of the end of the centery. I intended to come to the discussion by discussing the problems of today,which u mentioned casually. So to say,I started with s/th in common @ wanted to go into particulars by bringing it to today's realities ,I mean the problems of today @how
every/th has changed in a little bit more then 20 years.
Many rivers have flowed since those years. But I figured out that my generation was interested in many but other things. And most likely folks stopped thinking @ all their wishes @aspirations were reduced to the desire to be rich @to have more money. And this distracts people from their life. Everybody forgot that we were not born to serve multinational corporations to make money for them,but some/th else.
This I ultimately wanted to talk about,@ brush up the mem...ЕщёI'm gonna tell u what..
