its up to people to do their homework if they want to buy green. or you can just not give a sh*t and buy the regular cheap products like me.

While thats true, just spend 1 evening watching ads and it shows you just how much they get away with.
Enzyte, the male enchancement product. Brandpower (helping you buy better), Medi-facts (insinuating facts, not that their a ad company), etc..
The amount of half truths, suggestions and outright lies are out of control. The fear is from polititians to change regulations on ADs because they fear consumer confidence will falter and less consumer spending = slowing economy.
We forgive sooooo much for profit, like business can police itself. Well we know better I hope now, greed trumps all things and without regulation and watchdog government with teeth we will continue to see lies and manipulations on TV praying on everyone.
