This turnaround has come about due to fact that people suffering from obesity and its associated illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer are beginning to sue food companies for their weight problems.

Macdonald’s have already come under fire from collective obesity saying they made it fat and as such company have begun offering fruit and a new range of salads. Will it catch on?

Personally, if you wanted a salad, you wouldn’t be going to Macdonald’s. Silly idea in my opinion and really, I’m sure it would just be rain forest we would be eating anyhow. Still, a wonderful marketing exercise just sprung to mind. Rather than company just chop down forests to make way for grazing areas, Macdonald’s customers could eat it. All that added roughage, you see. Two birds (of endangered variety) just flew across my subconscious …

Obesity: I certainly don’t remember seeing so many overweight people around when I was younger and I’m still only in my early 30s. Scientific research has proved that, globally, number of people suffering from obesity has risen by 50% in last seven years. You just have to question modern food and modern lifestyles. I rode my bike when I was younger. My step-son just kills people. This would of course keep him lithe because he’d be constantly on run, but people he kills are just computer animated.

He does however have one lovely advantage over many kids his age – his mum’s dominant genes. She’s as svelte as they come and so are her kids. Him and his sister have something else going for them. A step-father brought up on Country Store. If I were to notice a weight change in kids, you’ll know why they suddenly begin to dread breakfast. As for parents in our house, we’ll just stick to Starburst. That way, our appetites will never be overly “vast”.

We’ll be ones with a nosebag in corner full of purple sweets and tears in our eyes.

We’re all interested in our health and how to improve it when needed. We also want quality of life and longevity. Well, like it or not, in this area of our lives we’ve become more and more dependant on pharmaceutical industry. But does this mean that they should be allowed to charge prices they want?

It has been estimated that over 1 million Americans are currently using this cross-border method, either in virtual world of internet or just getting in their cars and driving across border. The number is increasing every day.

This increase has prompted much debate and retaliation. One major drug company has now stopped supplying its products to Canadian mail-order pharmacies that sell to Americans. Others will almost certainly follow in this practice, too.

Apart from moral, and there are morals from both sides of story, is this practice legal?

Well, in 1987 a U.S. law was written, long before boom of internet pharmacies, making it illegal to import prescription drugs, whether made in U.S. or not. Both FDA and U.S. Customs have never really practiced this law and apparently nobody has ever been prosecuted.

So, what will happen next?

Do you have an opinion on this battle between giants? If so, we’d like to hear from you.

We are currently carrying out a time-sensitive survey and we hope to get opinions of at least 50,000 people. We will send results of our survey to U.S. House of Representative, FDA, as well as Canadian International Pharmacy Association. Do you think that opinion of 50,000 people would make people listen? Who knows, but one thing is for sure U.S. politicians need to hear voice of people that vote them.

Why do I say that this is a time-sensitive survey? Simple … we have to act before a final decision is made. We will close all entries on September 10.

Our intentions are to be as partial as possible, as we want to hear your opinion and not just give you ours. In survey you will simply be asked whether you agree to Canadian imports, do not agree to Canadian imports, you don’t know, or, you don’t care. The results will be calculated, packaged and sent off to all above government bodies. Let your opinion be heard today, whatever it may be, and we will try to make it count.
