Have a look at the pictures of diet bloggers Kirsten Hunt, Ann Conrad, Daniella Conrad, Jenna Patterson. Notice anything? That's right: they're all the same girl - a "casual" German iStock photo model named Julia. She's never eaten Açai berries in her life. Is this because she does'nt believe in its many health benefits? No: it's becasue "'These diet 'bloggers' are just a mirage,' [CSPI senior nutritionist David ] Schardt said. 'Their weight loss is courtesy of Photoshop, not açai.'"
I don't know what's worse: the whole Acai berry mumbo jumbo, the açai-related scams, the fake blogs, or the impressive but nevertheless misleading use of Photoshop.
