Disappearing Act

This small section of street has an interesting sense of mystery about it - as children we only see the doughnut shop in the middle, as if the "health store" is invisible, but at some point in our teenage years we suddenly notice the GNC and stop going here for sugar and start following our desires for better skin, healthier bodies, and especially smaller waists via bottled "miracle-cures." But this change in behavior only occurs after we have already become unhappy with our bodies - due, in part, to our poor diet that includes an almost religiously regular Saturday morning doughnut binge.

Would there be a need for products that give false promises for quick-fixes to our health issues if we focused more on the root causes of our widening waist-bands?
