It 's an outrage...but not the first time someone has taken advantage of other people's misery...
I guess 'cause you can make money off surgical procedures, but not by encouraging lifestyle modification......

I noticed that a lot when I was out in LA (not sure if that is where you are, elisabethd), and it certainly seemed unseemly.
I'm not one to tell other people how to spend their money, but rearranging the way your gut was designed to solve a problem caused by what is between your ears is just a terrible idea. When it's marketed to seem like it is no more difficult or serious of a choice than buying the cheeseburger that got you in the condition to begin with, I get where you are coming from.
