MediBacon tm
An easy way for seniors to remember to take their meds | |
Seniors take an awful lot of prescription meds to stay healthy - or at least to slow their slide toward the grave. It's hard to remember to take each and every pill each morning, even for young folk. The solution is simple: MediBacon tm.
Everyone enjoys a hearty rasher of bacon in the morning. And
who could forget to fry up a pan of the tasty meat? Why not engineer a tasty bacon with prescription meds built in? Besides traditional bacon, vegetarian and low-fat versions could be developed. Imagine the delicious taste of bacon combined with Zocor tm, Premarin tm or even Prozac tm!

Weird idea, but good, I guess. Although I think the drugs could also be enveloped in other foods for people who just don't like the taste of bacon. Maybe in eggs, or cheese or something, too? You could start a whole line of food with drugs already in them! |

There's already food with drugs in them: Coffee with caffeine. Orange juice with vitamin C. Fish with vitamin E. Rasher of bacon? It should have cloresterol fighting drugs in it, at minimum. |

mmmmmmm Fortified Fried Pork |
|

Then there is Vitamin D fortified milk, flouride in the water, Vitamin fortified sugar cereal etc. How about meat with an Anti E-Coli Serum in it? That might be more practical. |

I'd opt for meat with no E Coli myself. |
|

cooked meat = meat with no e. Coli |

Lots drugs are heat sensitive...that's why you'll see on most prescription bottles the admonition to "store in a cool, dry place". Cooking would most likely destroy the properties of the drug, and possibly turn it into something lethal. Also, absorption rates and blood serum levels for certain drugs differ if a pill is crushed or broken. When putting in food you'd have iffy absorption rates and irregular dosing. Sorry, but I don't see this as bakeable. |

So the drugs may become more lethal than the bacon itself. I shudder to think. |

Arrgh! When will the "put drugs in everything" stupidity stop?
Drugs are dangerous and should not be put in anything that could be mistaken for non-drugs (e.g. everyday food). |

How about bacon with LSD? |
|
| |
I said I wanted my eggs runny! And...make my plate stop melting. |
|
| |
It seems like a rather good idea, but just be carful if there's extra left over! If they put it in the fridge and someone eats it, the results could be... interesting.
Wheeeee! |
