Jillian Michaels "Snake Oil Profiteer" Sued By Consumer
As found on the USA Today website, It appears that snake-oil saleswoman Jillian Michaels is being sued for her claims that a pill taken before main meals will reduce a persons weight. This claim is made under the assumption that the pill, marketed as “Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control,” will reduce hunger or cravings, and thus decrease consumption. If this is not false advertising and dietary obfuscation aimed at nothing more than pilfering money from people who find themselves already inundated by the corporate food marketing machine which wages veritable weight-loss warfare on their already fragile psyches, then nothing is. Reiterating the obvious, Michaels states “My reputation and credibility are of the utmost importance to me.” Well, this appears to be one of the few things that is important to her since she is engaged in marketing a product which flouts the health and welfare of millions of people who are already languishing in an environment of an “obesity epidemic.” The woman should also be slammed with a lawsuit for malpractice. Michaels say’s “This baseless lawsuit is without merit and is being handled by my legal team.” Well, she is lucky she is not being sued by this author, because she could never afford the army of liars she would need to even mount a defensible argument to the ensuing deluge of factual data proving her to be negligent. Christie Christensen of Lake Elsinore, Calif. who filed the lawsuit has more than enough grounds to do so, and the fact is that this should be proposed as a class-action suit and marketed in much the same way as the mendacious product Jillian Michaels is endorsing. Truly, it is time to start getting the real word out about these products, and not allow these corporate hoodlums to get away with settling out of court. A settlement merely penalizes them with money damages, which allows them to demand a gag-order, thus continuing the obfuscation which keeps them in business selling products that then hurt countless more people. As well as the fact that the product must then be even more profitable to afford the lawsuits, and a vicious cycle of “mass manipulation” ensues. The many single-dimension cure-all products that are on the market today are nothing more than mechanisms of societal abuse which enable ambiguous food corporations to sell their dietary double speak, where “all natural”, “low fat” and “whole grain” are the new duplicitous trend words designed to sell over processed, cheap consumables claimed to be “health in a box.” It is obvious that Jillian Michaels would do whatever she could to discourage the actual education of Americans with the knowledge that would teach them that her products and image are nothing but a fallacy. Jillian Michaels is nothing more than another Main Stream Media puppet who is taking advantage of the fact that the medium she sells her image on has been hijacked by miscreant profiteers who incessantly censure the content in order to hide the truth. Eventually all of these “personalities” will be exposed for what they are as the abuse reaches terminal velocity and the nation wakes up to the fact that they have been cheated by a market of systematic manipulation bent on one thing only…getting something for nothing. The world they are selling people is not sustainable, and the reason they are doing it is because they can act with impunity and hide behind the corporate structures of “limited liability.”
