What is it with these medics?

Do they have special lessons at medical school in being totalitarian arses or is it something to do with the looming budget restraints whereby they think that shouting loud enough for long enough will get them some extra funding? Maybe we just have an enormous Bansturbator* Bandwagon rolling along collecting special interest groups wherever a cry of “Ban It!” is heard.

Whatever the cause, I am pretty sure that their smokeless, alcohol free, low cholesterol, 5-a-day, 30 minutes daily exercise, no salt Utopia will be a pretty boring place to live. As the old joke goes – if you don’t drink, don’t smoke and don’t have sex you wont actually live any longer … it will just feel that way.

And, as an afterthought, wtf would Marlon Brando have used in Last Tango in Paris if butter had been banned? Flora Light?

*Bansturbator is from The Devils Kitchen if memory serves.
