Amen.  Presentation is overhyped and overpriced.  Eat the real thing.

Bingo! And if we AREN'T filling up on all the broccoli, kale, healthy fruits and veggies our bodies need, but are, instead, taking 4 gummy supplements in their place, what does that leave room for in our bellies, but more junk that won't nourish our bodies? It's kind of a backward sales pitch, if you ask me. Bulk up on lots of healthy, low-calorie dense foods and leave less room for the other, not-so-healthy stuff, not the other way around.

I lost all respect for the "creator" of 8 Greens months ago when she introduced the Gummy version.  She was asked during a presentation if the Gummies were Vegan and she looked perplexed, looked at a label and said I don't know why not.  WRONG Answer.  If she was actually aware of what it takes to make a gummy vitamin she would know that animal by products are utilized to create Gelatin.

 

Anyone really concerned about getting more greens could save themselves money and put the $84 into fruits and vegetables instead of this snake oil.
