Best-known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars trilogy and The Force Awakens, actress Carrie Fisher is recovering from a "cardiac event" Friday. An anonymous reader quotes ABC: Her brother, Todd Fisher, told The Associated Press that she was "out of emergency" and stabilized at a Los Angeles hospital Friday afternoon... The 60-year-old "Star Wars" star experienced medical trouble during a flight from London and was treated by paramedics immediately upon landing in Los Angeles around noon Friday, according to reports citing unnamed sources.
Fisher reportedly remains in the intensive care unit while lots of celebrities are now wishing her a speedy recovery for Christmas, including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew, and Billy Dee Williams, as well as Star Trek actors William Shatner and George Takei.

I get it but...

I feel like society really has it's priorities out of order. So many people are concerned for an actress while people in their own nations are homeless and getting neither proper nutrition nor appropriate medical treatment. To top it all off, they are shunned, scorned and accused of simply being lazy.

However, I understand celebrity (especially sci-fi centric celebrity) has it's appeal but if we want to talk about it, we should talk about the most likely cause: heart disease. It is the most common killer of people (in the US) and while the cause is seemingly mysterious, it's quite well known it's because of the amount of meat we consume. Meals shouldn't have more than 10% of meat but various industries have changed it so that it seems like it should be 80%. The overconsumption of meat is killing millions of people and I'm sure Carrie Fisher will become one of them soon enough.

Wake up, society! You've got it all wrong!
