"Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in women." ― Gro Harlem Brundtland Topic(s): Death More From Gro Harlem Brundtland "Investing in health will produce enormous benefits." "The development of the food industry for both domestic and export markets relies on a regulatory framework that both protects the consumer and assures fair trading practices in food." "More than ever before, there is a global understanding that long-term social, economic, and environmental development would be impossible without healthy families, communities, and countries." More In Death "The earth is rocky and full of roots; it’s clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you’ll never see it again – it’s death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil."― Anne Lamott "Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself."― Bryant H. McGill "Our business is with life, not death."― George Wald
