Can Money Buy Healthy Weight Loss?

$542,000,000

$5,200,000,000

$18,500,000,000

These are the amounts of money spent on different types of healthy weight loss aids each year.  $542 million on  health and fitness books, $5.2 billion on diet foods and weight loss programs, and $18.5 billion on health club memberships.
