This short video is very funny, but makes a very serious point. It’s the same in the UK, big pharma has the government on the payroll and as Bill says, has become your dealer. Same goes for junk food, between junk food and big pharma they own the government. There is no money in healthy people, there is no money in dead people. The money is in sick people who are alive, sort of.

Hmmm. This guy makes some good points, particularly about food and drugs. I just want to answer what he said about exercise and depression. Yes I'm sure it has helped some people, but if you are truly deeply depressed, how on earth do you manage to exercise? It's often difficult to drag yourself out of bed in the morning. It isn't a case of being lazy, that's what depression is - it's debilitating. On the occasions when I did force myself to walk when I was depressed it did nothing to ease the depression and just made me feel worse. Often the exertion made me feel ill. I do wish people wouldn't generalise in this way, it's so hurtful to those of us who try but don't get anywhere with it.
However I did have a good laugh watching this. Thank you. It has cheered me up.

Spoken like a true Scotsman or is that racist and I am due another kicking Is your comment the greatest pessimism or what? A man that worries about the cost of dying. Have you thought about an asbestos coffin?
