Essay talk:On medicine

Meh, commentary
I'm already seeing problems. First, most kids I know who are the age of five already understand the moderation principle instinctively. Second, most kids I know who are the age of five do not find the healthy stuff to be unpleasant or annoying or a bad thing at all. I know one kid who DELIGHTS in tooth care. But anyway, please continue. --Castaigne2 (talk) 03:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * this is because american candy sucks all kind of arse. Reeses pieces? The worst quality chocolate in the known world joined with peanut butter? It made me gag. Oreos? The shittist of biscuits. Never tried a twinkie (just twinks thanks very much), but they look minging. Here in the uk, a child of five will stuff their faces with our superior confectionary until their teeth rot, their stomach bursts, and they require regular injections of insulin if left to their own devices. Makes me proud to be british. AMassiveGay (talk) 03:29, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've had European candy, but it doesn't impress me much either. Interestingly, I despise Oreos and have never had a Twinkie. I'm very neutral on Reeses. In fact, I'm pretty down on sweets, when you get to it. I prefer salt. (Thinking on it, I am found of marzipan, for some reason.)
 * I do, however, recommend introducing yourself to a moon pie and an RC Cola. It's a Southern particularity. --Castaigne2 (talk) 15:19, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Scott Alexander wrote a well-received ramble on what culturally counts as a medical issue. This is of interest because he is in fact a doctor, so he's actually talking on his subject. Dunno if that's where you're headed with this - David Gerard (talk) 13:47, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
