I keep reading about how supplements aren't all that effective or might not be all that good for you. Then, too, there's folks that just want the supplements, without thinking about what the term means: they supplement something else. There's another thing that's suppose to be happening first—diet certainly and probably exercise to get things moving—so when I see young people in particular talking about whey protein or other things I think, okay, you're taking the supplements, but you're still eating the burgers and fries, the pizza, the nachos, etc. I think they think the word supplement means counteract, as in they will counteract the bad stuff they're feeding their faces with. :)

That's very true. I know plenty of people who simply think the supplements are something they must take before, while or directly after they work out. There's no thought about what their diet is like or the intensity of their work out.
I even see people who spend 2 hours in the gym every day while only doing exercise for 30 minutes of that time. And every time I see them they're walking about with a protein shaker as if they're a pro body builder.
It's truly amazing how even a protein shake can be turned into a manifestation of vanity.
Oh, well. You'll be able to write a book about this. Or maybe two. You're pretty much setting up the chapters here as you go. :)
Haha! I wonder if I could?
You're already doing it. Some more anecdotes, a few more facts, some pictures and some graphics. Viola! :)
