what bother me most about MT is their advertising. Not necessarily because it's all bs, but because the claims are so outrageous (for products that are
barely effective, if at all) that it's clear they are deliberately deceiving the consumer. There's a difference between creative marketing, and just plain lying. Creative marketing is a great business strategy, especially in the supplement industry where it's nearly impossible to break through the noise. But to make such outlandish lies, just to goad unsuspecting consumers into purchasing a grossly overpriced product, is appalling and wrong.
Ethics, in my opinion, is a huge responsibility in the health and fitness industry. You are not just messing with peoples' money and time, you are messing with their lifestyles. Yes, people should be held somewhat responsible for doing research and making informed decisions, but LBJ put it well by pointing out that there are people out there new to working out (and veterans as well) who will be deceived into buying MT, and it's because MT does not hold themselves to any standard of truth in advertising that people buy and rely on these products.
Long story short, what MT does as a business is wrong. Their operations are based on lies and deceit, which are practices that should NOT be tolerated!
