DJ, so true about us not having to exert any effort to relieve ourselves of these things. Everyone wants a quick fix.

This is one of the reasons we are trying very hard to keep our daughter off medicne for her diabetes. My husband believes that once you go on medicine for certain things, you never learn to discipline yourself to do what is best for your body.

This is also true of people who go on medicine for cholesterol. They take the medicine and never change their diets.

While I know medicine for diabetes and cholesterol is most definitely needed for many people, I still believe doctors are quick to prescribe before getting people to change habits.
