A proposal in Britain will have free 'statins' available at fast-food restaurants. Statins help reduce cardiovascular risk and, according to some, are safe, even at high doses. If I read the article correctly, the statins will be available just like packets of ketchup and salt. Patrons won't have to ask the clerk for them.
I agree with Dr Rubenfire, in the following article, that patrons will assume they can completely eliminate the risk of unhealthy eating by simply taking the statins. And they may even 'super-size' their meals.
