I also used to think only idiots rejected generics. Then the Ranbaxy scandal happened.

I used to be okay with generics, until I realized that I wouldn't buy food that I knew was made in India or China. Imagine buying Cinnamon Toast Crunch if it were made in India.

So why would I eat a prescription / OTC drug that's made there?

Bought any cheap pickles lately? (Plain old cucumber dill pickles, that is, not achar etc.) If yes, odds are fairly high they come from India.

Thanks, now I know to check the back of my pickle jars before I buy them!
