Oh my God! What's with the drugs commercials on TV? I mean they got the solution for everything. And the language they use is really trying to get to your psyche too. "Do you suffer from shortness of breath after jogging?", "Do you get headaches at work?", "Do you suffer from heartburn, asthma or cough?", "Do you have ulcerative colitis, sklerose or prostate problems?" The list of would-be symptoms goes on and on. Soon they gonna hit you with things like: "Do you go to bed in the evening and get up in the morning?

I'm just wandering when it's going to peak. I guess with all the junk succesively flooding Europe and Asia, I mean foodwise, our health problems, depressions, obesities, you name them, are going to hit us hard pretty soon. If only as much money and energy was put into prevention programs as it is for ad campaigns, the world would truly be a better place.
