Also, the health care system is similar to the herding of cows. Move em in and on as fast as you can. Sad, have a pill. Too fat, have another pill. Anxious about things, well there's a pill for that to. I suppose we are a bit to blame, we want immediate gratification, and some things just naturally are supposed to take some time.
If I wanted to lose weight, I should not expect it to come from a pill, but that is how we've been nurtured. The pharmaceutical industry is probably the most profitable and powerful (the two typically go together) industry out there. Believe me, I'm certain they must have an entire division/sector that devises marketing strategies for pills that are designed to trick us into thinking that it will help us feel better about how well we sleep, have sex, interact with people, etc etc.
So, yup, we're over-medicated all right. It's the matrix all over again. Muwahahaha
