Whoops, your ignorance is showing

Back to that scary Herbalife lady… I just have to remark on more of the idiotic things she said. She had this whole binder full of materials (propoganda). One page was this certificate she received for… I don’t really know, nor do I care. The thing looked so cheap and cheesy, like some of the awards I received in high school. Great qualifications you got there lady. Did you laminate it yourself?

What really stood out in the arena of utter ignorance was when she was trying to explain diabetes.  Apparently there’s something wrong with you at the cellular level, and this causes you to become intolerant to sugar. So when you consume sugar, it first gets sent to your brain. Your brain rejects it so the sugar get sent to your pancreas, which also rejects it. So now you have all this sugar with nowhere to go, and that is “a bad thing”.  So if her miracle product is able to fix whatever is wrong with my cells, does this mean my brain will start processing sugar? Wow. As if it didn’t have enough things to do already. I’ve heard that there are a lot of untapped potential abilities in the human brain, but I never would’ve guessed that it would one day decide to take over that function.

The lesson in all of this? If you don’t know what you’re talking about, pick a different topic. Better yet, don’t speak at all!

(Note: I have nothing against those who haven’t had the opportunity to go further in their education. I will never ridicule them. However if you are going to be peddling products that will affect my health, you better know what you’re talking about!)
