Thank you for your wonderful sharings, Jackei, tracy and shh.

I've been reading and thinking about your posts.  They are rich, helpful to me and others and making me think.

Pointing out lies doesn't seem to be enough, especially false promises regarding diets.  So I've been wondering where the vulnerability to lies comes from.

It's not just wishful thinking. It's got to be more than that because these false promises come, get exposed, go only to be replaced by others which are believed until shown to be false.

So I'm almost finished writing an article about how we can learn to believe lies or be oblivious to them.

It should be up in a day or so.
