Interesting article about weight loss product ads
http://www.cracked.com/article_21211...-products.html
This is an article I just saw on Cracked.com which is primarily a comedy website but they very often has really interesting and informative articles that don't focus only on humour but also on the facts. This particular one was co-written by an actor in a weight loss infomercial and details the process they have to go through to achieve that perfect before and after picture for the ads.
More than anything, I found it sad. I know most of us are here on these forums because we've realized and accepted that there's no short cut to weight loss, but it's a downer to think about the millions who see these ads that give them hope that it's possible to get slim in 30 days and other hogwash like that (I can't believe I used the word hogwash, but it's the only one I can think of to describe it).
