Had your Pill today?

Is it just me or is there some devious plot by our ever caring multi-national medicinal companies and 'democratically elected' goventment to have us all taking pills of one sort or another, even if we are perfectly healthy?
According to Saturday's Daily Mail the latest suggestion goes along the lines that all men over the age of 40 ish should be taking a combination pill that just might protect against diebetes, high cholestrol etc etc and this wonder pill will include statins. No mention of course that long term use of statins may lead (and has lead) to muscle pain/wastage and heart failure - the heart being a large muscle of course.
The whole of our nation seems to be sleepwalking into a fast food present and medicated future with vast profits for the multi-nats and our retiring government ministers who will no doubt end up on their boards as well-paid advisers.
Or am I just being cynical?
