Ingrid,

As an American, I'm also put off by marketing hype, so you're definitely
not alone. I have to admit, I've lost some respect for LSC after
regarding the tone of their advertisements in recent years. I know
they're well-meaning, and they do put out some good quality products,
especially their foundational products on which their company has been
based. But they now seem to have really ramped up their appeal to human
greeds ... prosperity, romance, success, easy living, eternal youth, and
even superstitions ... at the expense of realistic rationality. Well,
it's not just LSC ... it's everywhere nowadays. I can only trust that the
Universe will take care of its own, and create good from every effort.
After all, it does seem like some people are receiving genuine blessings,
and if through their successes, they can help make this world a better
place, then we're all blessed by them.

Best,

HF
