	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Agrarian diet and diseases of affluence - Do evolutionary novel dietary lectins cause ...
		Among agrarian societies some diseases of affluence, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, are associated with increasing westernization and urbanization, although some less westernized countries such as China and countries in sub-Saharan Africa did have more cases of diabetes in rural than urban areas in 1995 [6,7].
		However, for other diseases of affluence, such as stroke and CHD, some of the varying prevalence among agrarian societies is puzzling with no consistent association with westernization, urbanization or rise in risk factors [8,10].
		Moreover, when people living in non-agrarian societies migrate to an agrarian society or when their own society becomes agrarian they contract diseases of affluence [2,14], which illustrates the general rule that there is no genetic protection against diseases of affluence, only genetic variation in degree of susceptibility [2].

	The Good of Affluence
		Some may even be incredulous that any serious-minded person would dare to write a book stressing that affluence might be good, much less that God might be found amid the consumerism and materialism that is infectiously widespread in the culture of modern capitalism.
		Obviously, I must believe that there is an affluence that is good, and that the conditions for it exist in modern capitalism.
		In fact, these writings show that material affluence of a sort is absolutely essential to God's creative vision for all human beings amid the flourishing that he has in store for his entire creation.

		Affluence is the experience in which our needs are easily met and our desires spontaneously fulfilled.
		Affluence is reality, and the true purpose of this book is to give us an insight into the nature of reality.

	Rethinking the Environmental Impacts of Population, Affluence and Technology
		When the model is used to assess the relative impact of population and affluence as driving forces, data for two points in time are usually translated into percentage increases for each term in the model.
		These preliminary applications and their findings suggest that the stochastic approach to the assessing the impacts of population, affluence, technology and other factors on the environment is a useful way to ground the debate about driving forces in stronger theory and empirical evidence.
		But population and affluence effects cannot be properly estimated if they are included in a model that is badly mix-specified.

	Calvin College: Calvin News
		The condition of material affluence, he concludes, is not just good in the Old Testament, it is presented as part of the order of creation, as essential to the way God in the most primary sense wants things to be for people.
		Schneider is convinced that Jesus recast the divine vision of affluence, and remade it in a very radical way for Judaism, but that he also reaffirmed it in ways that almost everyone seems to miss.
		Schneider argues that Jesus did not grow up in literal poverty, that some of his disciples were relatively well off and that as a group during his ministry they did not adopt a lifestyle of material poverty.

		Second, NABE's leadership chose to build this conference around an issue, "The Challenges of Affluence," that I feel strongly must be addressed by all of us in our roles as economists, public and private policy makers, and citizens.
		However, because national growth and affluence offer more choices, the policy challenges they posed are at least as tough-intellectually, morally and politically-as the challenges posed by national economic adversity.
		Earnest international delegates working together to establish trading rules, avert financial crises or help poor nations develop their economies, while they undoubtedly make mistakes, hardly seem to us to be villains in a tragic drama of global competition.

	Personal Affluence
		Seeking "money" just to have "money" is a worthless pursuit and is the usual goal of those who have no vision of a higher purpose in life than crude survival.
		THEN, when you have already established that affluence, personally, and managed to keep your honesty and morality intact, you should be ready for moving on, within this Church, to those Levels of Membership where you can learn how to further increase your personal prosperity while not "owning" money or assets.

	The Challenges of Affluence -- Alice M. Rivlin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The first challenge of affluence is to ensure more of it-to perpetuate the rapid productivity growth that creates personal and national wealth.
		However, I believe the demonstrations should be seen as a metaphor for the challenges of affluence.
		The biggest challenge of affluence, is to make the economy more inclusive, to open up the opportunities, substantially and visibly, to those that are not now able to participate, and to do that in ways that will enhance, not destroy, the productivity growth that makes the affluence possible.

	The Obstacle of Affluence
		Whereas necessity forced parents in former times to demand that their children help with the work of the household, affluence has made our children superfluous.
		So then, if we compare how the founding fathers raised their children to how we raise our children now, we find that our affluence has significantly affected the role children play in the household.
		The labor of our children is not essential to the day-to-day activities of the household; consequently, chores are not the norm.
