[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2194968, member: 487111"] If you were writing about US "experts" I might reply that they are in it for the money, they make their money off of us; and the drug dealers (i.e., pharmaceutical companies) have a monstrous presence on TV advertising their products and urging viewers to "ask your doctor if [drug XYZ] is right for you," while butterflies sing in the background and grandparents laugh with grandchildren and a voice-over races through all the terrifying possible side effects of the drug. IMO they want us to be sick, and to find a sickness with a long name we can "proudly" claim. Since we're no longer allowed to claim a religion, or a race, we can proudly claim a medical condition and buy a drug for it. :( [/QUOTE]
