Abstract:
Films aims to expose quackery in medicine and nutrition, telling the story of a charlatan who peddles "VitaLife" and special diets and supplements as a general insurance of health and a cure for all manner of ailments. Calling his salesmanship educational, he maneuvers to offer "lectures" in any location that will have him, combined with a hard sell to those in attendance. Food and drug regulators keep the public safe by exposing the quack for who he is.
