Bill Maher Lays Down The Smack On US Pharmaceutical Business

Bill Maher, One of the many things I've first seen on the Sift :) (being British never saw his show you see) This is him, venting his frustration on the USA strange dependance on uses pills and drugs to treat anything and everything....

I was in the US with my girlfriend, and I burst out laughing when I see these crazy adverts on US TV saying things like "Blah Blah Pill can cause death, neusea, blindness, pussy boils..." while a happy smiling couple frolick in the field, filled with flowers and bunnies in the background...


Absolutlely nuts...

Drug companies should not be able to do direct advertising. This one is right on the money. I see it every day. Americans want someone, other than themselves, to be responsible for their health. They don't see value in advice, they want a pill, something tangible that's going to make them feel better right away. It used to be rare, but now I regularly see patients so obese, they can't breathe. They're eating themselves to death. If the trend continues, the whole U.S. will drop below sea-level from the pressure. It will, literally, become Death Valley.

Samuel Johnson once said something like, "whatever might be the quantity of food a man eats, one can say that if he is too fat, he has eaten more than he should."
