One of the things that I notice is the number of people taking massive
amounts of toxic prescription drugs who refuse to do the obvious things to
lead a healthier life and then want us to pay for all the drugs. Sheesh.

## Agreed. I recently saw on TV that *OBESITY* and inactivity are the main
causes of so much ill health in the USA. Are you obese or inactive?

Overweight but not obese according to Federal BMI standards.(27.1) As
for activity, I walk a mile with my wife at least three times a week.
I do all my own lawn chores (no big deal) and dug my own pond. In the
Winter I ski at least three times a week. Next week we start the new
diet with the newest diet plan based on selecting the good carbs we
need and not eating excessive meat and fat. It has been put together
by a doctor who is still very much alive, unlike Dr. Atkins who died
of a coronary, possibly related to his plan?
Mrs. Crashj also needs the thyroid pills. That was not the sort of
toxicity I was thinking about. Most of the heart, cholesterol,
allergy, and joint pain drugs so many are on a regular basis have side
effects that would scare the heck out of anyone that actually reads
the little papers from the pharmacist. I rely on more natural products
to keep the problems from happening in the first place.
