Slim Away: too lazy, even for Americans

I just watched an infomercial for something called a Slim Away, which looks like a corset you wear to help you lose weight. It's supposed to help you sweat off your weight while making you look slimmer and trimmer. 

  The comments on this are especially amusing.

Before I completely discount the validity of that idea, can I just say how incredibly lazy this is? With the obesity "epidemic" that is happening in our country, this only adds fuel to the fire. How bad does your mindset have to be to want to lose weight but not want to get off your ass? I mean, seriously. 

What would Bob Harper have to say about this? It takes hard work to lose weight, not just wearing a belt and hoping for the best. But we're so dependent on having everything handed to us on an technology-laden platter that the usual diet-and-exercise plans are no longer good enough. Now we can simply sit back, relax and let the Slim Away fix our metabolism, eating habits and genetics for us. Hooray!

(PS: Many of the comments on this video say you can't just sit around with Slim Away and expect it to work; it doesn't work like that. Gee, who knew?)
