Sounds great!

I'd like to take one after my hike, or before I go to the gym. Think of the shape you'd be in!


Wistful desires mixed with sensational journalism topped off with a dollop of puritanism. Just what one would expect from the MSM.

I knew it! There's a pill for that. There's a pill for everything. Get me that pill!
