as a people, as a country, and as responsible adults or parents? Have we lost all sense--aided and abetted by doctors and the medical establishment? The answer is YES, that we have surrendered our own power to others, and apparently sacrificed our children's health in the process. Whether it's laxatives taken and prescribed (inappropriately) on a daily basis (instead of eating more healthfully), or giving children--and adults--psychotropic medication like antidepressants and tranquilizers for years and years, the result is the same. It's no accident that Type II diabetes is off the charts...we're killing ourselves in an attempt to forestall any discomfort, pain, and even death. And all of the gains made in human health--especially during the last 200 years--are being erased in a generation. What lazy caretakers we have been, simply for the sake of convenience...http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/26/us/miralax-a-popular-cure-but-never-approved-for-children.html
