People are too lazy to actually follow the doctor's directions. So they get a script for a drug that attacks the symptoms of a sedimentary lifestyle eating pizza. Most drugs are taken so the fat guy can have another piece of pizza.

Any time a friend mentions their paleo diet I roll my eyes.

I know. How will they ever get diabeetus like everybody else if they eat like cavemen? Are they even Americans?

In a sense they are pursuing the cause, correct, but usually it's the symptoms that are being treated not the underlying cause or imbalances.
There are great things about modern medicine. What they can do with certain surgeries now is just remarkable, and that's far from it's only accomplishment.
But modern medicine is a narrow model, it arrogantly rejects things that don't fit in the model just as the church arrogantly rejects blatant truths because they don't fit their model.

I could have worded that better, that's not what I'm saying. It should have read - There are natural remedies for a lot of the same things that science creates. For X pill there is usually going to be something you can eat or do that has scientifically been proven to help with the issue the pill is trying to solve.

Trying to capture what nature has already done and put all the magic into a pill that will make billions of dollars... and you don't see an inkling of relevance to the true statement. As they say, interdasting.

But then if somehow I granted you that, your statement is quite simply observably untrue. Medicine may be a business, but it is also undeniably a science. As it has progressed during this leap over the last few centuries, the paradigm has shifted many times. There are many individual experts in the medical research field who are not afraid of paradigm shift, who understand the value of scientific curiosity.

And you think that's bad?

The breast feeding nazis make you feel like a POS failure of a mother if you don't/can't breast feed.

I see it in myself. Just in the past few years I've done the following:
1. Gotten rid of all of my CD's and digital music at home and primarily listen to music on a turntable. Have one in the basement and one in the garage. Wife won't let me put one in the living room, so I still listen to my iPod on a dock when upstairs.
2. Old school shaving with brush and single edge safety razor.
3. Quit taking cholestrol meds and made dietary changes along with more exercise to control my high cholesterol.
4. Been toying with the idea of dumping my car and car payment and buying an older(early 80's) diesel Mercedes. Haven't gone so far as to wanting to convert an old Mercedes to an ethanol engine though. If I didn't have to drive for work occasionally I'd have already done it.

This one time there was a young mom breast feeding her child in the lobby of my office when I came to work.
I enjoyed the view but i don't understand the appeal.

That's because they think you are making your child suffer through formula. If you tell them you are wet nursing, you will be welcomed with open arms.
This is the trend I am seeing. I know a few moms who don't want to breastfeed (it's hard), a couple that can't, and all of them have friends providing the supply.

I don't like that idea at all.

They really do, and I never produced any milk to speak of. I never even went up a cup size (my poor husband). The nurses in the hospital made me, already emotional from hormones, feel even worse.
Wet nursing was not a trend then, but, even if it was, I think I would have felt weird about it.

Genro, there will be a thread about this, and there will be a thrown down, and you will tap out. Ya hear me?
I have no time right now to slap you with the truth, but it will come. Soon.
