Dr. Oz Sells Out

Dr. Oz – Im ashamed of you. You actually had the gaul to headline one of your shows with the notion that you can burn that belly fat in only 5 minutes per day. Here are some of the misleading and seductive quotes from the show:

“Taking you from fat belly to flat belly in no time”
“Give me just 5 minutes and I’ll give you the miracles to fight your fat forever.”
“We’ll give you the miracle work outs that will take off 2 inches of fat in 5 minutes and require you to just sit there for 5 minutes”
“I’ve created a work out that’s so easy its harder NOT to do it.”

These kinds of messages are sure to attract those legions of obese lemmings to the screen who expect to get something for nothing and to sell that ad time, but as someone who claims to truly care about peoples health and have the integrity to deliver the truth to those people, I am truly ashamed that I am seeing an increasing trend towards quick fixes, vanity driven surgery, miracle supplements and the latest fad diets. Congratulations, you are now becoming more a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.

I guess I should’t be surprised to see another person sell their integrity to the devil and get seduced with fame and fortune.
