cow fat

Today it was hot, so I read the various smoothie chain menus looking for un-pesticided berries, which I suppose I didn't really expect to find. Instead, at Jamba Juice in the description of their Fit n' Fruitful^TM smoothie, which has some fancy additive (conjugated linoleic acid) that's supposed to help you lose weight, I found the following fantastic disclaimer: "Note: Results will not be achieved with sporadic consumption."

Then I learned on Wikipedia that conjugated linoleic acid is a fat that comes from grass-fed ruminants and that, according to studies, it's supposed to be good for you, but maybe not if you're fat. Also it's a trans fatty acid.

You can't make this stuff up.
