We’ll be heading up to Illinois today to visit our families and attend a wedding reception over the weekend. I’ll reply to comments when I can, but won’t be spending much time in front of the computer for the next five days.
In the meantime, some of you may be interested in the new drug reported in this news story:
As always, I say try the dietary route first, no matter what the doctor believes.
If you enjoy my posts, please consider a small donation to the Fat Head Kids GoFundMe campaign.
For the this is what we are up against file:
Doctors: Super Obese Children Should Be Taken From Parents
Doctor Admits Idea Is Extreme But Is Needed To Save Children’s Lives

Great. They’ll take the kids from their parents and put them a facility that’s required to serve the USDA diet.
I never thought to see if The Onion had a website with videos. I now know where some of my internet free-time is going to be spent.
And it was a very informative news programs, too. Now I know that a steady diet of corn syrup and white bread will cure a couple of my friends of their chipper attitudes. If that doesn’t work, I’ll recommend despondex!
Awesome! I also loved all the ‘breaking news’ info scrolling across the bottom of the screen…’naughty nightime nurses under investigation for elder abuse’…even if being too ‘chirpy’ was an actual medical condition I’d have a hard time believing the stuff at the bottom of the screen because it’s hilarious! Of course, headlines are sometimes pretty ludicrous these days. I actually had to scroll back a few times to catch it all! Thanks for the laughs, Tom! Have a fun and safe trip!
Wait…do I sound too chirpy with my excessive use of exclamation points??!! Maybe I’ve also got an excessive happiness problem!!
Drink some corn syrup and it will pass.
Many thanks for the laugh Tom. I’m with you… don’t bother talking to me first thing in the morning! I used to drive my neighbour to work with me in the morning — what a chatterbox AARGH! :-0
The video is worth watching a couple of time to make sure you read all the scrolling headlines and other on-screen information — hilarious 😉
Cheers

Yes, this IS a parody. But do you remember “social anxiety disorder” (formerly known as shyness)? How about statin drugs? How about the fact that 80% of Americans believe that depression is the result of too little serotonin, despite 20+ year-old research conclusively demonstrating that that is NOT true?
Parody works when it contains a great deal of reality …
Thanks for the interlude. I hope the trip is a safe and enjoyable one.

I did a spit take at the doc’s last comment!

But, you know, some drug company will start research on this. A new syndrome is a terrible thing to waste, and not having a drug for a condition is a condition wasted from a drug companies viewpoint.
It’s not at all outlandish and less harmful than many of the drugs they are pushing.
