It's funny/not funny but many of our fellow citizens seem to enjoy being part of our absurd sickcare system, going to doctors all the time, taking prescription drugs, eating crap and then wondering why they're so unhealthy.

When I approached Medicare age, I was bombarded with offers to lower my prescription drug costs. When I told these pests that I didn't take any they were in disbelief! Now I'm 70 and still not taking any.

LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE AND MEDICINE BE YOUR FOOD.

way to go, Ned and BtB!!

I don't take any prescription meds, but I will take an ibuprofen on occasion--maybe once a month if I have any extra pain, for any reason. I do supplements, but I've even reduced them. Taking prescription drugs is a self-perpetuating pit of dispair. If you take one, most likely you will be taking another soon to combat the problems, or effects of the first one. #DeathSpiral.

I don't think it's "enjoyment," I think it's a zombie-like trance state of acquiescing to what they (mistakenly) believe are medical necessities as imposed by the medical authorities.

PS - I'm 76 and also not taking any prescription meds either; good on you, Blessthebeasts.

Ya but why does seemingly like everything have to do with race or black vs white?

I can guarantee you 100% that Lisa is not versus white.

She is trying to improve the lives of her own community here in the US that have traditional medicine routes, but are often the ones who suffer from chronic metabolic conditions.

I wonder how many states are affected by the "Munchies"?

(Dear, I am still working on the piece I like to show you. Lots of data pertaining the dark ages in America has been erased. Now, I can get only data from February 2020 on. But it should also work. So, I have not forgotten you.)
