Size 8 to Size Zero???

I have to laugh at over the counter drugs seen on TV with snappy names like "Quick Trim".  They actually get people to do a personal testimony that they took this wonder drug and suddenly go from a "size 8 to a size zero".    The larger the population becomes, the more the clothing industry changes sizing to make us happy.  Size ZERO sounds soooo much better than size 8 today I guess???  Next thing you know, the average 5'6", 130 lb woman will be wearing a Negative size for Goodness Sakes........ "May I see something in a negative size 6 please??"

Fat is fat, overweight is overweight - no matter what "size label" we give it.  And is this "size zero" gal going to take that over the counter drug for the rest of her life?  What complications will it bring?  How is it truly changing her behavior?  What a bunch of trash - but then again, most people I come in contact with are looking for the "quick fix"......this company makes money --- YOU LOSE - and I'm not talking about weight.
