> Is there a reason you used the term "Mormon conspiracy"?

The vast majority of supplement scam companies (and their closely related scam cousins, multi-level marketing) in Utah are run by Mormons and have their origins in traditional Mormon herbal healing: http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/news/5117547...

It is important to note that Judaism is different from Mormonism, and most other religions, in that being a Jew is an ethnicity as well as a religion - you can be Jewish and be an atheist. Religion is a choice, and I consider all religions to be morally wrong and an impediment to rational thought and human freedom. The fact that most supplement scams in Utah are run by Mormons but most Utah Mormons are not scammers is correct and I hope apparent to everyone, and I did not mean to use hyperbole to imply otherwise.
