Good, but not good enough

I saw a story on the news yesterday about how the makers of 4 famous over the counter diet pills had to pay 25 million in damages for "misleading marketing."

I'm happy about it, but 25 million is not enough. These companies scam 100s of millions from gullible people looking for a quick fix. It was barely a slap on the wrist. And they can still sell the stuff.

Any over the counter diet aid is a waste of money. Nothing is going to get you results except for good ol' fashioned hard work.

The companies that sell these worthless products make false claims, spend millions on advertising and if they're lucky they get a celebrity to lie for them (TrimSpa). Then they rake it in and only have to worry about the possibility of a fine that they could easily pay.

It's wrong. But it's the way it works.

You don't need those pills. In several cases placebos were proven to be MORE effective. They are just worthless. Save your money.

Get up, move your body, and eat good food. That my friends, is the only magic pill you need.

Train smart,

RL
