We have an issue with drug addiction and crime associated with drug use, so the War on Drugs is our solution to our drug problem.
We have an issue with global warming and oil dependency, so Hybrid Cars are the solution to our energy problems.
Weight loss supplements, The War on Drugs and Hybrid Cars are all connected because they are presented as solutions to real problems, but they are actually flawed and failed solutions!

Free Acai Berry Products…. a Scam.

I have no problem with patches – they really make a pirate… well a pirate. The problem comes when supplement companies try to sell products such as the Acai Patch or the Weight Loss Patch or the Cure Everything that is wrong with you patch.
