:mellow: So im in class and my teachers talking about how theres this guy who publishes books which contain false claims and he's made a bunch of money off of the book and now there banning the book from stores and probley sending him to jail so im like well if people are buying his THEORIES why not let it be i mean theres tons of products out there with fake claims(false advertisement) why don't we remove those?

So basically i say he has a right to publish anything he wants i mean if its selling and people want to read that its just like how false advertisement works if they like what they see they'll buy

He asked me to name one product that has fake claims and i was tired as hell and my morning answer was yogurt and juice which kind of lie about there nutrients (they round all of it up) but he just said thats just counting nutrients

so i just found some sites he should check (which also became my email to him)
