Can’t eat Sh--

In the past few years since ‘my wife’ has gotten older, one of my favorite by-words is ‘$hit’.

 I have noticed that research in the past few years over laps. You are told that something is great for you, then it seems the next year, that it is bad for you, you should try this! Now I think a good diet is down to Oat meal, almonds and apples.

Today I was going over a list of stuff you should not eat (according to some university research).

Anyway, sorta under my breath (I thought) I said, “We can’t eat $hit anymore.”

From across the table, my wife who doesn’t care for the word too much says, “Good, I never cared for it anyway!”  OUCH!   (smart alecks)

All this, ‘It’s gonna kill you’ food, is getting to me. I have said it over and over I hate to use the word cholesterol, because I can never spell it correctly the first time thru. Anyway I am fighting the debate within myself, which is worse the side affects or the ‘hard word’?????

I hate to be at the mercy of someone’s opinion and I don’t know enough to make a wise decision myself.

I have made it a practice NEVER to advise others on medications, not even my sweetheart. That is a personal decision, because it may mean your life.

I have, however, in the depths of my thoughts, considered that many doctors prescribe drugs because of money. I cannot get over our dependency on the medical profession as time passes. It seems everyone I know is on a ‘few’ medications. Drugs seem to be the answer. Growing up there was a gas station on every corner, now they are razed, and drug stores raised in their place.

I worry about the children, that get started on meds at 2-5 yrs old. I’m probably off base, but remember the ‘terrible twos’ When a 2 yr old was experimenting and getting into everything. Now they are sick and need to be calmed by some pill. As I said it is probably just my age, and I may be off base, but that decision is not mine, every mom and dad is forced to weigh, is the kid normal, or over active? Decisions? Some children need medication, I have no doubt, but surely not about three million for ADHD alone!!!!!

(I wonder what that looks like in money???)

Anyway my diatribe today, thanks for coming by the log!
