Then TV and radio got involved, we had the 'naughty but nice' adverts regarding cream, the brainwashing got started! Best we follow the money to proportion blame. Slimming became a huge money spinner, I know cos I think I've tried them all over the years. If only I'd have stuck to the advice from that little pamphlet of my mother's!</blockquote>
