I'll let you draw your own mega conclusions regarding all the spiritual implications you could draw from a poster visually comparing medicines and candy. Medicine heals when used appropriately, but it poisons when eaten like candy. Candy is delicious and safe for most kids in small infrequent quantities. It sickens and does a lot of damage in large frequent doses. The similarities between some of these pills and candies to an untrained eye are amazing.
I discovered this staring at a very cool poster comparing medicines and candies hanging in our pharmacy. LOTS of candies and common over-the-counter meds look alike, not just a few. To children they would look identical.
The name Finger Lakes Regional Poison and Drug Information Center (a local poison control center) appears on the poster but their website sends me to Strong Health which isn't showing me posters like that so unfortunately I don't have an image of the poster to show you.
If you're interested, This is a national poison prevention resource. Lots of interesting info!
This may seem random but it came up this week. It didn't have anything to do with poison, just blogging and hospitals.

I may have found a PDF version of the poster on the Upstate New York Poison Center site. Is that the same one?
