Your Diet's at the Door

It's killer hos all the way down alert!

Like a carefully crafted pousse cafe, the layered marketing scheme of diet foods involves the media, its darlings and other thieves they honor to deflect their own culpability.

ABC, in complicity with its expert, David Katz, whose 3-Hour Diet (with Jorge Cruise) has a home delivery scheme costing a whopping $88/day, has portrayed favorably the latest ruse doomed-to-fail diet schemes use to quickly separate you from your money.

In an apparent attempt to seem impartial, notice that neither ABC nor Katz mentions the 3-Hour Diet at Home product.

Of interest, ABC is Oprah's network, broadcasting other insane and dangerous approaches to weight loss from which they all profit.

Tanya Steel, editor in chief of Epicurious.com, said about the sales of delivery diet plans..."for people on the go, the cost may not add up to much more than a daily diet of take-out and Starbucks."

..."If you take into account that you're buying breakfast on the go and coffee and then you're probably buying lunch at work, and then you're probably buying something at a fast food store or going to the supermarket, it probably evens out," she said.

Tanya Steel is a moron, liar, imbecile and/or in cahoots with these entities. Take your pick.

According to the Food Marketing Institute, the average household spends $92.50 weekly on food as household grocery expenses.

This is WEEKLY and for a HOUSEHOLD (over 2.5 people, a 2006 number).

"...ingredients can drive up the cost of plans to as much as $50 a day."

Actually, much, much more.

This will never "even out."

"A lot of people these days don't know how to cook, frankly. And they don't know how to cook the right stuff. So this takes all the thought and preparation out," said Dr. David Katz, a nutritionist and Yale University professor. "Portion control is the second best thing about the pre-packaged meals. They provide a little bit of built in discipline here."

Notice the first best thing is not specifically mentioned. Apparently, the "It makes lots of money for us," got edited out.

Incidentally, the idiots at Epicurious.com were too neglectful to consider price per Calorie when determining "value." (These products have no value to consumers.)

Calories for this stuff can cost up to 10 times more than "real" Calories.

And this is for starvation rations, less than concentration camp internees and people under siege ate.

NutriSystem, which they rated as "least expensive" is actually among the most expensive since "they are meant to be supplemented" with food you have to supply.

If you feel a compulsion to do something grossly stupid, do something less harmful and expensive than buying this trash.
