Geesh... that's really short-sighted.... I didn't realize that the UK marketing was so different.
Although from what I've read in some of these news pieces LC is not very PC in the UK... there appears to be a hue and cry from the old stodgy medical practitioners in the UK who think that LC is ludicrous if not dangerous and this seems to lend more weight to marketers and product stocking in established buisnesses.
And yet, I know there are a lot of folks on this forum from the UK and all over the world who are strong advocates of LC. Hopefully in due time the world markets will wise up. |
