Not everyone knows that the fitness industry is ripe for marketing, hucksters, scams and fad, after fad, after fad, which is exactly why it's so ripe for the sale of hope. And unfortunately, the blame for becoming consumers of these 'products' really can't be placed (too much anyway, since some things should just scream BS) on the consumer themselves. How are they to know any differently? How are they to be able to 'read critically' and assess whether a claim, product, book, service, etc., is worth their hard-earned money? It's like me going to see a mechanic; they could probably sell me an entire engine rebuild, simply because I just do not have the requisite knowledge to critically assess what... read more 0 comments
