My first thought was that this will make stomach stapling get a USDA seal of
approval no matter WHAT the story's authors had to say.  'Mrrka (that's how
George Dubya Bush pernounces it) is driven by instant gratification.

But, in all honesty, if some pill DID help hunger drop, I'm not saying it's
a bad thing in and of itself.  The problem is that instead of eating what
they should and taking a pill to help things along, people will just eat
crap and take the pills do all their work for them.  Like I said, instant
gratification...
