Finally, she could have used this as an opportunity in a constructive manner.
(1) Portion control - yes, you can still eat this vat-o-fat from time to time, but this is the portion size that will keep you in check.
(2) Alternative ingredients - Your xxxxx will taste 90% as good as the original, with half the fat, and much lower on the glycemic index (ok, her audience doesn't understand that term) by these few simple substitutions.

"You can continue to eat like a swine and everything will be fine if you take this simple little pill I'm hawking" is all wrong, wrong, wrong.
