Will this stop us from being a pill-popping nation?

[question everything]

There are several threads about an FDA insider questioning the safety of five popular drugs and the FDA spokeswoman replying that they are safe and how these news stories scared many people.

But the question that many should ask is why are Americans the most medicated people in the world? Why do we prescribe and swallow pill for every imperfection in our daily lives?

Drugging kids and bonning old men while keeping the costs of medications highest than in any other industrial nation is a disgrace.

Several months ago some "experts" called for lowering our cholesterol to yet another low level recommending, of course, to medicate us. And my first reaction, then, was why do "they" want to medicate all of us.

So I will continue to live life as I do, to try to eat healthy and to exercise, but will enjoy an occasional juicy hamburger and eggs Benedict. And I won't be the skinniest person in the cemetery.

1. FYI

prozac traces are found in water now

[question everything]

2. That's scary. This leads to drinking more bottled water

which is a lot more expensive than gasoline, on a per gallon cost.

3. water is life

and actually not all bottled water is safe now. i filter and test my own. we live on an island down wind from an old smelter, the earth still has traces.
