Okay I’m a little pissed off now. Who am I kidding? I am A LOT pissed off right now. First there was “ED” yes you know the dreaded “Erectile Dysfunction”, the whole marketing-ploy concept of which just irritates the crap out of me. Those ads that we have to put up with! The slow dancing! Give me a break! Please. But I think that they have gone one better now. Now we have … drum roll please … and I’m not kidding you here this is actually happening … “Metabolic Syndrome”. Yes, you heard it here first (well maybe not here first but I hope so or I will be really worried) … METABOLIC SYNDROME!
Get this “in surveying 5,077 adults, researchers found that those who got little or no daily exercise or ate low calcium diets were at least 1.5 times as likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions (including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excess belly fat) that up your risk for heart disease and diabetes.” Well NO SHIT SHERLOCK!
Honestly, I can barely think when I read this. Talk about something that causes high blood pressure!
Now, eating a crap diet and not doing any exercise isn’t just overeating and laziness it is a “Metabolic Syndrome”. Hey, I don’t have diabetes because I eat Ho-Hos all day long and sit on my ass, it is because I have “Metabolic Syndrome”. Poor pitiful me… I have a syyyynnndrome. Yes, a Syndrome. It isn’t my fault. It is a syyyynnnndrome.
AKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
I can see it now, all the pharmaceutical ads that promise that we will be slimly slow dancing again in no time. I just want to puke (hey, maybe that is a syndrome too!)
Thank you for allowing me to rant (not that you really had a choice but Thank You anyway).
I hope that you have a syndrome-free day!

PS. I may post more later. I just had to get this off my chest.
PPS. Why does the guy look so happy in the picture. Doesn't he know he has a Syndrome. Oh, now I get it. That is why he is so happy. It isn't because he is on 15 different types of medication because he has eaten almost his weight in calories every day and can't walk more than 20 steps without feeling faint. It is because he knows now that it wasn't his fault. He has a synnnndrome. Whew! He might have had to feel bad about himself for a minute. Thank goodness that is over!

PPS. I took this photo of the day before I cleaned up my "sick" table. I have found that when you are sick you end up with a junkie table with all the essentials around you. Here are a few of those essentials for me.
