Who's keeping track of the Hoodia craze?
Apparently it's a plant, used by san bushmen of south africa for ages to stave off hunger, and lose weight. Clinical trials shows it works damn good.
Of course, fat, white businessmen have arrived on the scene, thrown up patents, and will now pocket millions, while fucking over the Bushmen.
Unfortuately for them, it's impossible to grow outside of s.a., takes 5 years to ferment, and difficult to satisfy a nation of fatties. Pfizer even said no.
Until then, i guess all we've got is a internet full of fake hoodia products from unscrupulous people trying to cash in.
