There's a Diet for Every Sucker

Standing in the Meijer grocery store checkout line this evening, I saw something that just made me laugh and groan at the same time. I really wish I'd had my camera with me because I would have taken a picture of this.

Here's the headline I saw on Woman's World magazine:

Lose a Pound a Day on

The DaVinci Code Diet:

Hidden Inside the Best Seller

The Secret Scientific Formula That Unlocks Fat!

I kid you not...I actually dug through my purse to find a scrap of paper and a pencil to write this headline (the main headline of the magazine, mind you) word-for-word.

DO PEOPLE REALLY BELIVE THIS STUFF?

I don't know which one is more pathetic: the fact that this is a headline on a non-tabloid magazine or that I have, on occasion, been known to purchase this magazine.

I guess it really is true..."There's a sucker born every minute...".
