Can you guys read this and offer some feedback? This assignment is worth a lot of marks, I don't want to mess up. ^.^ Pre-thanks to all that do <3 Diet Pills. Practically everywhere I go, I hear about some new miracle pill that aids weight loss. There are even entire stores devoted to them! Even if there is an abundance of different brands, how many of these products actually aid weight loss? The main issues with these products are their ridiculous prices, the effects they have on children, and the health problems caused by some of the pills. Like psychic readings and astrology hot lines, the weight loss industry sells hope to desperate people. How much does selling "hope" get you yearly? $222 million for just the pills in the United States. With the exercise programs, equipment, and breakfast shakes added, the sum is $40 billion a year and it's going up. So, how exactly did these numbers get so high? It starts off with either a despairing man or woman wishing to lose a few pounds. They read the promises on the bottles, see the gorgeous people on the displays, and ignorantly buy a months worth of pills, which ranges from $40-$70. Does that sounds like a good purchase? Even though the prices are horrible the pills have to work and be risk free, right? If you thought yes, you'd be dead wrong. Many brands are either ineffective or barely work with harsh side effects. Consider the popular brand called "alli". On their official website, it states "alli blocks 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed, and the fat that isn't absorbed is harmlessly passed through your bowels. As a result, you may experience some bowel changes during the first few weeks of use". If you haven't already guessed, that pretty much means you crap out 25% of the fat you ate that day, everyday you use alli. I also came across some information stating that a side effect is getting "gas with oily spotting". Basically, if you're on alli, make sure not to wear white pants. Another bad part about alli is, even though it helps a little bit, once you stop taking alli you're definitely going to gain the weight back. This product doesn't help you change your eating habits, just blocks out fat. Once you're off alli, the extra 25% of your fat intact is going to come back into your diet, making it a huge waste of your time and money. Since diet pills are horrible for adults, what about children? Normally there are terrible side effects that come with diet pills for adults, let alone children! Children will get the same side effects, plus put their growth in danger. They need nutrients because they're growing and people get nutrients from food. If the children are fat, you shouldn't be restricting food but instead changing their diet to something more healthy and getting them to be more active. If doing that still does nothing for your child, there is one FDA approved weight loss drug used on children. It's called xenical and it works by blocking fat absorption. Even though xenical is approved, children under twelve aren't supposed to take it. It's evident that diet pills are not the best options for weight loss. Considering that one third of the adults and 20% of the children in America are obese, it doesn't look like the diet pills are doing their job at keeping you healthy anyways. If you want to lose weight, it's going to take time and hard effort. There are no get out of work quick schemes for losing weight. It's all about dieting and exercise. I wish you good luck on losing weight!

Cut out the abbreviations. Like at the end: "it's".

Is this an essay, report, speech? If it is an essay or a report I would take out the first person "I", as they are to be written in third person. When you start using statistics and evidence to support your point, you need to identify where you found the information. For example; According to researchers at the University of New England, 65% of women will use diet pills.
