There's a commercial for a product for treating diabetic neuropathy, which is an inflammation of the nerves, particularly in the feet, caused by diabetes. The woman they had in the ad was extremely obese. So I thought, her obesity is the primary cause of her diabetes in the first place and the extra weight is putting more pressure on her feet. In an imaginary enlightened world wouldn't it be nice if they could have a combination ad where they say: Take this medicine to treat your diabetic neuropathy and while you're doing that, why don't you get to work losing those extra pounds--call Weightwatchers®.
Of course in an imaginary enlightened world nobody would be obese and have diabetes. It's always something.
