Doctors Are Dumb

Now not all doctors are dumb but the ones that companies talk to in order to make their product seem “good” for you are probably dumb. I don’t know any so I can’t say for sure, but I’m going to go with gut on this.

I’m sure you have seen those commercials on TV, the most recent one I can think of is for “5 Hour Energy” where they say they talked to 3000 doctors about people using their product. It makes me laugh because everything she says doesn’t make sense. She says something like “We asked 3000 doctors is they would recommend 5 hour energy to their patients, and 73% said they would recommend it to their patients already taking a low calorie energy supplement” So basically if they are already taking energy inhancers they sure they might as well take 5 Hour Energy. Only 73% of them said they would? It’s supposed to be for energy right, it should be across the board!

People are always telling you how bad frozen dinners are for you (like you had a choice between that and a private chef to cook for you, but you’re poor and live alone and don’t want to put any effort into something that only YOU are going to eat) but the worst part is that you know they are right. It’s ok to have one every once in a while but not for every meal, but it is NEVER ok to have any of the 7 on this list. I give you, the worst of the worse frozen dinners. After the jump!
