People selling natural cure books

How many of these guys are out there now? I've counted three.

There's the original guy,

Some fat guy with a mullet who claims to be the healthiest person he knows,

and now there's some weird looking blond guy.

Hi 40.

There are thousands of them selling those books and many don't look too healthy to me. What the underlying message is, buy this book and make my checkbook healthy again, and if your health improves in the process, then so be it.

What I think is really near the edge is those people who peddle their vitamins as a cure all for everything. Some even have radio programs where they have people call in and tell how the vitamins solved all thier problems. Geez, what a scam!

I don't thing we have people actually walking around here selling those books but I am sure I have seen them in stores.
