"Welcome to the 21st-century experiment: The Art of Boiling Frogs, Sponsored by the Medical-Industrial Complex™.
First, let's get the recipe right. Start with a population of frogs. No, not real frogs—let's call them people, but for the sake of satire, we'll stick to 'frogs.' These frogs live in an artificial pond, a world of bread, circus, and every conceivable sugar-laden delicacy you can imagine. See, the trick is to get these frogs hooked early. Don’t just offer them treats—sneak sugars into their meals, drinks, snacks, and even the air they breathe. Obesity crisis? Metabolic syndrome? No worries—these are just 'marketing opportunities.'
Next, as these sugar-laden frogs start to waddle rather than hop, enter our heroes: Statins! Pump these bad boys into the population to reduce that bad cholesterol, because the frogs have been told that cholesterol is enemy number one. Never mind that cholesterol is essential for brain function, hormone production, and cellular repair—it's all part of the show. Make sure the frogs are kept 'safe' from their own biological needs.
Now comes the genius bit: Watch as brain health gradually declines. The frogs start to lose their mental edge—slowly, subtly, so they don't leap out of the pot. Statins, by lowering cholesterol, ensure that neurons aren’t quite as spry and synapses don't fire quite as well. Meanwhile, keep those frogs entertained with bread (carbs, carbs, and more carbs) and circus (endless, mind-numbing entertainment on tiny screens). Tranquilize them with a carefully engineered cocktail of substances and distractions until they’re happily simmering away, blissfully unaware.
The beauty of the system? It's a self-reinforcing loop. Sugars make frogs crave more sugar; statins keep them just healthy enough to stay on meds for decades, and the distractions keep them too entertained to question the setup. The pot of water heats up ever so slowly, and by the time the frogs realize what’s happening, they're already well-cooked.
It's a slow-boil masterpiece. And as the frogs lose the will (or the brain power) to jump out, the boiling pond continues to serve up profits, all while everyone croaks: 'It's for your health!'"
Enjoy your stay, frogs. The show must go on."
