It's been proven that many people who are fat or obese suffer from psychological problems that cause them to overeat...food gives them comfort.

It's nothing new, we all deal with our "personal problems" in different ways ie: shopping, drugs, gambling etc.

It's just that this type of problem is visible.

The individuals who promote these products are preying on these people and offering false hope to make a buck.
Those of you who say such things as "Here is a clue…eat less, eat healthy and exercise a bit more." make specious arguments about how simple things are when you simply have no clue about the frailty of the human psyche.

These hucksters are targeting people who most likely have tried EVERY imaginable weight loss program out there to no avail.
They're desperate to try anything so they can feel a sense of worth and for once in their lives feel as if they belong in society.

There's a simple to solution to every product like this that makes false claims.
The vehicle used to promote the product (TV, Radio, Websites etc.) must be given valid proof that the products work or they (the vehicle) won't carry it!
Of course that won't work because top to bottom it's all about the power of the almighty dollar.....
