it's the same here... freakin pharmacy on every block.
pills are expen$ive. and they need to be in order to fund :
- a store every square mile
- advertising
- the educations of the physicians who will one day prescribe their drug(s)
- vacations and other "gifts" for the physicians to write the scrips
And a bandaid is a lot easier to apply than fixing the problem. No, don't cut out the fried chicken wings and beer... just take your cholesterol pill every day to keep the numbers down.
