So, that 67 billion amounts to around 1K, per person (65 million population in the UK approx). Interesting. Might cover a few months of a gym membership? Don't see how chocking on pills equates to a healthy lifestyle. I think you are spot-on, that this is a ploy for moola. Thank you for the article. Oh, can you help explain why there's an unrelated imbedded link from Christopher Hitchens in your article?

that's a clip of him debating some Muslim propagandist back in the day when they were torching Europe for someone drawing Mohammed. The guy said this is not about terrorism or censorship but "strategic discourse." Hitchens then said, in classic Hitchens fashion, "strategic what?" followed by a complete demolition of the clown's arguments. It's one of my favorite Hitchens clips ever and the "strategic partnership" line Eli Lily is using to sell its drugs to fat welfare cows reminded me of it.
