Diet Pill Advertisements

So lately I have been seeing more ads on MyFitnessPal about things like Hydroxycut and Green Cambodia or whatever other diet "miracle" is preached these days. Real talk time. I have tried all of those pills and I have nothing to show for it (maybe some organ damage). It is wrong to take pills to lose weight, but we see ads everyday on MFP encouraging us to use diet medication instead of taking time to do some good old fashioned hard work. It is misleading and confusing. I know that it is a personal choice to take diet medication, but I also know that baiting a population that is already vulnerable to the diet pill craze is immoral. I can deal with ads from Dominos on the website, but promoting unhealthy and dangerous habits on a health website is just too crazy for me to understand.


Rant over.
