Saving the children of India (video)

(BBD) Rocky Braat met a group of Indian children diagnosed with HIV while drifting through India. He wanted to save them all, but in reality he couldn't cure even one of them. They teach him, daily, that love is the only thing that makes life worth living. The truth is, he needs them as much if not more than they need him. (BloodBrotherFilm.com/Facebook/twitter) 

Reaction: "Let's get them low cost drugs!"?

[Not covered in the film: Why do they really have this diagnosis? Poverty and poor nutrition from processed foods like white rice and Monsanto's chemcial-laden agricultural products. And why will they die? Capitalism and the commodification of Big Pharma "health care" that wants more and more such diagnoses -- that will show up if anyone taking an "AIDS test" has a flu, malnutrition, is generally sickly or normally fending off an infection AND is interpreted as being in an at-risk group by test result interpreters -- whether in gay and poor neighborhoods in the USA or in the developing world, all to boost sales of their products with the help of government and NGO funds for more misguided R&D.]

It's not as if men have ever had to live up to the standards of beauty, physical attractiveness, and shapeliness females are forced to deal with from. We give men a pass, but that was when they did a lot for us beyond being eye candy. Now, guys, at least have the decency to look good! And shower. And use a dab of natural (non-aluminum) baking soda under the armpits; it's a wonderful natural deodorizer. And work off that flab.

(HP) America's expanding waistline may not be new news, but throwing the average American male's body into a line-up spotlights America's obesity epidemic. This is exactly what Pittsburgh-based artist Nickolay Lamm did when he created these visualizations (which obviously deal only with body size and not race, ethnicity, or skin color).  "I wanted to put a mirror in front of us," Lamm told The Huffington Post in an email.
