It's about the money and how it is presented. Andrew Weil is in business of making money but it's presented differently. Yet, his website was slapped by the FDA by promoting pills that would prevent swine flu.

Look at the celebrities pushing diet plans - they have NO background and their only claim to fame is that it worked for them. Big deal. If I had unlimited time to exercise & unlimited money to buy this stuff, I'd drop tons of weight too. Of course, there is always the disclaimer that basically, "this probably won't work for you, buddy, but if it does you'll be golden!"

It's about commitment & lifestyle, not quick fixes for the upcoming class reunion.
