Amen sister! Lets start ‘em out young on the pills and keep them there for the rest of their lives. I mean really a healthy lifestyle is after all highly over rated, and it takes so much ENERGY! There is a pharmaceutical answer for everything it makes it all so much easier. We can have all of the kids on adderal and statins before they can talk… and we adults can all take the statins and whatever else they can talk us into and to make us feel better about it… we can all take antidepressants… then when we have gotten tired of being lazy and over weight we can ave gastric bypass. There is nothing like taking the easy road hmm?
