Licensed to Pill?

Just yesterday I heard an ad on the radio for a pill to control your blood sugar levels.

Now, this would not be a big deal to me if they were talking about people who had a medical reason for needing to control blood sugar, but NO, what they were talking about was taking this pill because of the "high sugar, high carbohydrate American diet."

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it be simpler to just NOT EAT high sugar and high carbohydrate foods rather than eat them and then take a pill to counter act them??

This reminds me of a cute, yet scary when you think of the implications, flash movie my sister Doreen, sent me some time ago called Licensed to Pill.
