Medical science is what I am thinking about right this moment.
They have come so far in such a short time period and can do just about anything now.
So that made me think of some of the things that they are capable of doing …
They can make a pill to send medication to a specific location in the body and no place else.
They can use a pill to send chemotherapy like drugs to fight specific cancer cells in the body.
They can even give you a pill to remove the build up of junk in your blood stream.
So, my question is …
WHY DO WE NOT HAVE A ANTI FAT PILL YET?

O come on already!
You mean to tell me that every famous person, every government higher up and every darn doctor actually goes out and exercises and eats right all of the time?
OK, the President does have a cooking staff, and does seem to exercise daily.
… do you think that he has food tasters to check for poison?
So I am sure that these people have a the great secret anti fat pill and they are just not sharing it!
I think it is out there, but that it is being held back by the government because if we all lost weight we would destroy the economy.

O yea, lets take a moment to think about this one now shall we?
The obvious is that people wouldn’t go out to eat as much and/or as often.
Speaking on that subject, do you see how we all like going to places because they feed us more then we should eat?
Did you know that most restaurants who serve what most of us think is to small of a portion is actually feeding us 1 and ½ times the recommended diet allotment?
Just a strange little side note for ya there.
Back to why the economy would fail …
Furniture would last longer.
We would have less need for doctors.
Because of the restaurant corporations taking a hit, all of the food providers and farms would take a large one too … in other nations that is, (Please see my below comment)
Cars would get better gas mileage … it always come back to fuel doesn’t it?

Now that we have looked at a few of negatives, lets point out some of the positives if this magic pill was to be pushed, and America was to get thinner!
More money in the pockets of the people because we don’t have to buy as many things such as furniture and clothes.
AKA, better economy for other business.
Better health … to help with the costs of our free health care plan …
More use of American farmers and ranches instead of buying foreign produce’s.
No need for big massive SUV’s that only get 10 miles per gallon.
So, everyone could drive smaller cars, helping with traffic congestion on the roads.
Also leading us toward lower road repair bills and a decrease in accidents.
And of course cutting down on global warming because of the lessening of carbon monoxide release.

So, why does the government not push this?
Why does the government not want a nation of healthy people?
My guess is because they are getting paid to much by all of the companies who would loose out on us being a healthier people.
That is just one ideal, but they have proven time and time again that as the people that we have picked and chosen to protect us and look out for our best interest, well, that they in fact don’t.
