A convenient design for creating lifelong customers. Who's gonna invest in a permanent solution that curbs hunger when there's a much more profitable way to milk customers?
Weight loss is the industry I was thinking of in particular. It's an extremely ineffective industry considering the billions in revenue.
I think the trick is to blame the consumer for not using the product well enough (like Steve Jobs "you're holding it wrong") rather than admit the product isn't all that great.
