Goodbye fat and pasty white, hello orange and skinny!

Beware America, Illegal tanning is on the rise! There is an article on Stylist Blog about the latest trend in tanning, Melanotan. You can now get your tan by shooting up. Just what we need is more people comfortable with stabbing themselves with needles. Housewives and stay at home moms here is your answer to tanning. Of course there has been no studies to show what could happen if you use this stuff long term. The scientists will tell you that messing with your cells melanocytes can lead to cancer. I wonder if these are the same scientists who told us thalidomide was safe for pregnant women. At this point I am not really sure that there isn't anything that will not put you at risk for cancer. We live in a toxic society afterall. And heaven knows the FDA has only the power of suggestion to protect us.

Here's the kicker. It is perfectly legal to buy the substance. It is, however; illegal to sell it. That just kills me! Oh oxymoron, you strike again!

And last but not least, I noticed that one of the side effects of this injection is appetite suppression. Are you trying to Keep women from buying it, or encourage them to? What you are telling me is that I get a tan and a diet all in one shot? Where has this been all my life? I myself will wait to see how all this pans out. Besides, no one is legally allowed to sell it, just buy it, right?
