Being on prescription meds is almost like the junkie paraphernalia with shooting up insulin and popping high bloodpressure meds.

Doesn't is sound like a biological crutch for low-quality habits (fake food, cascading health issues, unhealthy environments,etc)?

Hormone treatments appear to be guinea pig experiments with lifelong consequences.

Sadly, it's quite hard to fix the environment, since we're communally invested into the current system.

Happily, individuals always have a choice :)

I've laughed several times already at "culture clumping" and "lifestyle clumping".

Being a technology native, I had good timing and got to grow up with the "golden library" that was the information superhighway.

The kids nowadays have to filter more tabloid info/illiteracy in a day than I had to in the course of years. I got to skip late-stage television too :p

Innovation in the 21st century is soooooooo much better than anything fiction has to offer.
