Watch for WalMart to place Depends near them like they did with orange juice and kleenex.

I knew I should’ve bought those Depends stocks.

Actually there’s already an “anti-fat pill” that’s been on the market for a couple of years: FBCx http://www.artjen.net/faq.html. Supposedly, you continue to eat your high-fat diet, take a couple of these pills, and you go from Fat Albert to Jack Sprat at the rate of about a pound and a half a week.

Have no idea if it actually works or not, but from what I’ve read you don’t have to worry about “leakage” except for the gasseous kind.

it should be take while eating Olestra fried potato chips, which had the occassional side effect of “explosive analy leakage.”
Oh God, those guys at the pharma companies. What fun.

David,

Very even treatment of the story. I sometimes tune in to the angryaussie blog. He delivers a more, shall we say colorful, accounting. http://angryaussie.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/miracle-diet-pill-with-teeny-tiny-side-effect/
