On the topic of nutrition and disinformation, I've noted a local GNC competitor has been running ads on TV here. He's a little bit of eye candy, so maybe I pay a little more attention to his ads than most of the other dreck we get.
Anyhow, I noticed the small print on a bottle of supplements (only $65 for a whole 2 months supply!!!) he was waving around (in his meaty paw) was marginally legible, so I paused and looked a little closer;
homeopathic formula
So, he's easy to look at, and a bit of a crook too. $65 for 2 months worth of inert ingredients and filler with the occasional molecule of an actual biologically active chemical floating around seems a bit high priced to me. Turns out the chemical is supposed to be prescription only, so what's in his bottle can't have more than the error of measurement amount or the FDA would be all over his (heavenly) ass.
While irked, I gotta give him credit, he is certainly giving a heads up as to the real nature of his product, but it's discouraging to realize the public is too stoooopid to note the deception.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
