All of these *weight controlled* pill bottles will have the standard 3 statements that clear them from lawsuits.

1) These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
2) Results may vary.
3) With regular diet and exercise.

The first statement pretty much means that you could legally sell snake oil has a weight loss supplement as long as your product in somewhere in the queue for the FDA to evaluate it. The second disclaimer is sort of a duh.... & number 3 is a HUGE DUHH.. If a person were to regulate their diet and exercise daily they are almost guaranteed to lose weight. So why
waste money buying a bottle of pills that purport to magically melt those pounds away?

In this case the key question would have to be answered by the Vitamin Shoppe: Why are the words *Weight Management* and *Appetite Control* on the front of the label?

But I guess we'll never know the answer to that question.

One thing is for sure, I should have gone into the diet pill business a long time ago.
