I'm not so sure. I know the medical industry is sure trying to push us that way.
However I meet more and more people that try to avoid unnecessary pills and medication. I can't remember the last time I actually took any pills, even pain killers.
A lot of people are starting to realize that prevention is more effective than any treatment, and that a healthy diet and lifestyle are the key to a healthy body.
