Acomplia an Accomplished Fact for Fat Americans

Sanofi-Aventis has cooked up a new magic pill. Just swallow their latest chemical cocktail and presto! a slim, new you will emerge. At least, that's what sits heavily on the minds of those two-ton Americans winging their way to Europe in pursuit of this latest conjury while their flab sits heavily on airline seats barely able to accomodate their girth. They're winging their way to the nearest European pharmacy that will sell them Acomplia, the weight-loss pill of their dreams.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still evalutating the treatment, seeking to determine if its supposed benefits outweigh the risks of its known neuropsychiatric side effects. People seeking a quick fix to years of self-abuse aren't accepting this cautious approach. Give them the instant cure. They are not interested in combining exercise and nutrition in a long-term approach that might actually necessitate a little hard work and some self-control. God forbid. They want a magic pill they can pop with a swallow of diet coke before they settle down to their usual hearty feast of artery-busting junk. Those with the money to do so are flying off to Europe where it has been approved, or buying it through foreign websites.
This is pathetic. It's just one more symptom of our seriously ill, instant gratification society.
