How many advertisements for weight loss products do we get thrown up in our faces on a daily basis? Pills, diets, kettle balls, ab devices, vitamin supplements, gym memberships, etc etc. They hit us from all sides. “30 days to the summer body of your dreams”. Television, magazines, newspapers, billboards, web sites and the sides of buses. Engaging in any type of fitness or eating program with the goal to lose weight is a sure way to failure. Why? Because it’s temporary. Health and fitness is not temporary. Health is with you until you die. You either have poor health or you have good health, but either way our health is something we all have and it needs to be taken care of all the time. Weight adjustments should only be viewed as a side effect of good health management.

Roman Polanski – I Don’t Care.
To CNN, please stop showing me detailed information about Roman Polanski and his past crimes and films about his crimes or whatever – I just don’t care. Please take a poll as to how many people watching your programming actually care about this guy. If I want info on Roman Polanski Ill go watch entertainment tonight or read US magazine or whatever other hollywood rag its being covered in. I don’t watch CNN for this – I want relevant world news or I change the channel. Stick with Health Care. Stick with the wars in the middle east. Stick with issues affecting all Americans. Make sure your advertisers know how many viewers you are losing for them when you decide to cover this kind of useless information.
Bill Maher is a genius…
Viewing a photo of an obese man holding up a sign protesting health care reform…”You cant complain about health care reform if you’re not willing to reform your own health”
“Im glad all those tea-baggers marched on washington last week, because judging by the photos, its the first exercise they’ve had in years”
Who do you trust?
I never rely on any company to tell me about the quality of their product – only to inform me that their product exists. Companies just cannot be trusted to give unbiased information. They will lie, cheat, steal and do whatever else it takes to increase their profits and maximize the number of shareholders. Now I fully realize there are companies out there that are actually honest and care more about customer satisfaction and producing quality products than raking in profits. To these companies I apologize. Unfortunately you have to work extra hard to gain the consumers trust in an environment where greed is the primary motivating factor.
Thank god for the internet. In a time where its so easy to access almost limitless information about a product or service, Im sure companies are having to scramble to keep us looking at their advertising and away from the opinions of unbiased consumers. I’m hopeful that more companies will take the stance that its smarter to spend more money on quality and customer service and less on slick crafty deceptive advertising. For these will be the companies I continually seek out.
