Don't be fooled by the drug hype

Prescription drug ads can be very frustrating these days because they are pushed on us all the time and the claims they make sound life-saving. So many people were buying into the ads that, at one point, people were getting ill from ignoring the side effects. According to Men’s Health, the negative aspect is changing how people feel about the ads and how they use them. The number of people who remember the bad things has gone up to about 8 in 10 people. The number of people who remember the good stuff has declined to 7 in 10. And the number of people who ask for specific drugs when they visit a doctor’s office has declined to one in five. That is a big decline. Don’t be a guinea pig and buy into these ads until you know more about them.

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
