I'm not too impressed

The other day I heard a report on TV about a weight loss drug that had been approved by the FDA.  I don't remember all the specifics but, supposedly, this wonder weight loss aid didn't have bad side effects.  Like most of my friends, I'm always thinking about dropping five pounds or maybe ten so my interest was caught. Until, that is, I heard their wonderful weight-loss statistic.  People using this drug lost an average of nine pounds in 42 months.  What?? That's an average of two-tenths of a pound per month. Really?  I can loose that much by skipping dessert once in a while and I guarantee that doesn't have any nasty side effects - except for the occasional craving for chocolate.
