Blog Entry 49 of 96 Horoscopically Blonde
Life is pretty funny. From waking up in the morning and seeing yourself naked, to slipping down the driveway waving your arms about like a chicken, it's all about the humor. Death is serious. Life is hilarious. Unless you're a SeaHawks fan. Then it's tragically funny.

Once More... With feeling and in regards to a VLCD
Contributed by: Jamie VanEaton   on 8/14/2007

First, there is the diet plan:

A VLCD (very low-calorie diet) plan which promises a pound a day loss.

A plan which promises that no exercise is needed. Ever.

A plan which was so disconcerting that Women's World had to alter it for publication.

A plan which promises no hunger on 500 calories a day on one of its phases.

A plan by a woman whose before and after pictures don't appear to be of the same woman.

A plan which claims that Jessica Alba follows.

A plan which about.com has just highlighted as a "potentially dangerous diet".

A plan which has brought forth survivors willing to speak out.

A plan which is being targeted to children as I discussed here.

A plan which must be scrutinized by the Federal Trade Commission, the attorney general of California, and the Better Business Bureau.

If you have 20 seconds today, please sign this petition, which will be forwarded to these agencies. ***The petition is fully private, with only IP verified to ensure one 'signature' per person. No names will be released, sold or misused in any way.

It's for your kids, and mine. For our sisters, our friends, and for their daughters, and for their daughters' daughters.

*** It looks like names are appearing on the petition. If you are concerned, you can sign a false moniker or a first name. Your email is what matters, as well as the IP. Neither of those will appear on the petition for public viewing. My apologies for the change. I didn't know about it at the time of releasing this.

Thank you, Stan. Boy, if I could pay a nickel to educate each and every person before anything happened to them, I would take out a big loan. I hope the FTC, the BBB amd the attorney general can do something.

I was the 106th person to sign the petition. Not even the government can save us from ourselves. Companies like that thrive because people don't know the truth and want to believe the outrageous. We need to petition the people to do a little research.
