How Sick can this get.. Pill that increases up to 100X in your stomach.

  I heard this about 5 times on the radio the other day while on a long drive.    It was an ad for a pill that expands up to 100x its size in your stomach.    This way you eat less.    I find this hard to swallow (pun intended) .  Have we  gotten so low that we cannot control our weight without something like this?        Oh well.   Rant for the day over..
