I suppose that for most people that is just a utilitarian question, unless I am missing something...?

If you want to sell your latest pills, you have to create a demand for them. Simply declare a deficit of vital substances in food, or declare the population suffering from symptoms that before nobody payed attention to. Invent an epidemic of civilisational diseases. And then make your profit by presenting the antidot to it. not only you will be celebrated, you also will make your money. Just that many people get betrayed, at best, get mistreated, misdiagnosed, poisened more realistically. Well, that is the risk of unregulated market economy, isn't it - sombody needs to be the fool. Be clever and be better, than you are fine.

I call this criminal by the very meaning of the word. Of course, the pharmaceutical industry is not the only one behaving like this.

Okay, then the others shall be called criminal as well. when you know that in Brussel there are several times as many lobbyists than there are politicians and eciso9n-makers, and for every member of the EU parliament there resides 40-50 lobbyists from business and industry in Brussel, then this tells you all you need to know about the situation, n'est-ce pas?

You can bet money on that! Especially sleeping pills, pills against headaches, to improve your digestion (that you ruined with bad food before), and especially psychiatric drugs.
