The health supplement industry has some of the best marketers in the world, and if you are in the habit of throwing cash into a vacuum, it could be the start of a great relationship for the two of you. I am a strong supporter of budgeting money toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but the last thing I want to do is waste money on uncredible and tasteless pills. It's like buying bumper stickers when all you own is roller blades.
And the hardest part about roller-blading? Telling your parents that you listen to Coldplay.
