I do agree on the fat blockers, based on what I've heard and read. However, as stated previously, there are some nasty side effects and definitely not a long-term solution to keeping weight off. And I didn't realize a prescription version was out. I have no problem conceding on that. My bad as I don't think of them as weight-loss pills. Showing my age, I guess.
Funny, I haven't seen much about them after the first year they were out.

Payouts, perhaps not. Cost (to be taken both ways) to consumers, regardless.
