Apparently, many people in Los Angeles think it is "better to look good than to feel good".
According to an article in the LA TIMES, despite warnings about the diet drug, people are buying the drug like hotcakes.
"At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 12 boxes of alli, the first FDA-sanctioned diet drug to be sold without a prescription, were placed on the top shelf of a Santa Monica Walgreens' diet section. Four hours later, all but one had been sold.
"I have never in my life experienced anything like this," store manager Roe Love, a pharmacist for 20 years, said as she eyed the empty space next to the last box of 90 capsules selling for $59.99."
