Obesity and its complications are a worldwide epidemic
Poor Nutrition – A Global Problem
Many basics of our food have now deteriorated in quality: • Poor storage, long transport, irradiation, processing • Fast food, unhealthy foods • The environment
• Commercial pressure to buy sugared products
• Mass retail products with no science – full of additives, flavorings etc.

HISTORY OF HERBALIFE®
In 1980, Mark Hughes founded Herbalife, selling products out of the boot of his car.
His stated goal was to change the nutritional habits of the world.
His first product was a protein shake designed to help people manage their weight. He structured his company using a direct-selling, multi-level marketing model which attracted thousands of distributors (Herbalife Independent Distributors) who sold its products door-to-door or through word-of-mouth, without relying on commercial distribution in retail stores.
The company's slogan, "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How," became a marketing theme for distributors, featuring heavily on badges, flyers and posters.
