Each year, people spend billions of dollars on weight loss and muscle-building products that do not work. Look at a newspaper, popular magazine, or web-
site and find an advertisement for a weight loss product. Read the ad and
make a list of its claims. Place a checkmark by the claims that are
consistent with the information presented in this chapter. Place
an X by those that appear to be false or questionable. Write a
paragraph evaluating the advertisement.
