Everyone wants a magic pill for losing weight.
My friend at a local organic store had a phone call recently from a man asking if they had a pill for losing weight. She told me that she wanted to say, "It's called eating less and exercising more."
When people hear of a new fruit extract on tv that is the magic pill for weight loss, the orders flood into the call centers.
The promise of killing your appetite by sprinkling a powder on your food brings about another blockbuster seller.
Yet people continue to get fatter and unhealthier.
Yes, Americans want to lose weight... BUT they want it to be easy. No sacrifice involved. No change of their eating habits or lifestyle.
