Ya know, I'd kind of prefer to think they're just screwing with me

Have you ever watched Cesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer, talk about disciplining your dog by making your hand into a teeth-like grip and forcing your puppy by the back of the neck into a submission posture?

These are the moments where I'd like to get my bitey hand on the scrawny necks of the medical establishment, in order to wrestle them to the ground, and yell - "ADMIT IT!! You have no idea what the flying f*** you're talking about!" They just pull stuff out of their collective, white coated asses - hum, yep, sounds good, shore does, yup, yup, yup.

They just send us all off on the anti-oxidant goose chase. Everybody should! Happy little chemicals that will run around with mops, clening up all those nasties in your body. Doesn't that sound good? Ohhhhh, unless you're trying to lose weight or ward off diabetes. Not for those two things. Just those. In that case, all the exercise you're trying to do would be hosed. So really, you'd just be exercising for fun. And that was why you were doing it anyway, right? Fun?

And who precisely in America is not trying to lose weight and fight off diabetes? Have you seen America?

Honestly. And doctors wonder why no one thinks they are gods any more.
