Have you ever noticed about 95% of the weight loss pics you see for companies (e-diets, Nutrisystem, L.A . Weight Loss (Just to name a few, b/c it was one of these that set me off) (Should I even go on the the weight loss pill pictures?) ....They all say * results not typical

Then why advertise them? Well, okay, duh, I know the answer to that, but why not be realistic and SHOW the "typical" weight loss pics?

No real point to this thread, Just pointing out something that really frustrates me.....

Yes I agree! The ads in print have it really tiny at the bottom. I guess they do it to save their lying butts from being sued. The bottom line is they can help you lose but that fast and keeping it off is UN-realisticn my soapbox:

It should state:

RESULTS AREN'T TYPICAL UNLESS THIS PRODUCT IS USED WITH PROPER DIET, EXERCISE AND PLASTIC SURGERY!
