dear emily,
we were chuckling about a drug commercial during the NBA playoffs
with a horrifying list of side effects: cancer, severe stomach bleeding,
death. my son mumbled, "does anyone even remember what drug is
being advertised?"
even if we could, i was not likely to take it. what ailment could be worse
than severe stomach bleeding or death? allergies, itchy scalp, aching pinky
fingers?
our generation has become accustomed to taking drugs for everything, and
there's no telling what we have done to ourselves. my recent addition is
calcium plus 1200 units of vitamin D. my parents worked outside for
their vitamin D, which is just one reason they are called the greatest
generation.
we'll probably be called the wimpiest generation,
lea
