Its not that the products/ingredients are fraudulant (some do have
science backed appetite suppresant/energy boosters in them), its that
the advertising/marketing claims were misconstrued and somewhat false
(people are just gullible eh?)
Oh and yeah they hadnt paid off the FDA *before* they ran their ads.
;-)
And of course anything that is remotely like the pharmaceutical
weightloss products that the FDA backs, has to be taken off the market
as they might be too much competition for them.

Yeah the FDA is a totally crooked organization bought off by the drug
companies. I trust them as far as I could throw Star Jones before she
lost weight. Isn't the FDA the organization that tells us the food
groups we should eat? The same ignorant bastards that told us it's good
to eat products made from flour?

I agree, I was kind of surprised by the One A Day being included
(although I would not have thought it worked, just that it had been
vetted by their legal team).

What's wrong with flour? Are you speaking flour in general? Whole wheat
flour is in several of the products I eat, and I think flour can be a part
of a well balanced diet.
