Melusine is right. Obesity is a physical and psychological problem. Most people who want to lose weight, however, want to do it as a cosmetic thing. I have oodles of people asking about these drugs, as well as about the legitimate drugs, like Phentermine and Meridia. Of course, they don't work, but some people are vain, or otherwise insecure, and are looking for the easy way out. Moni is right to instance makeup, which, artful as some of you ladies are with it, can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. I might also mention cosmetic surgery, such as mammary implants, etc.
