Why are Mormons so crazy about MLMs? And why don't they do more research before they launch a product called "Noni Juice" before doing what I would consider "due diligence".

I proudly stand by the fact that even at the height of my Latter-day Saint-y-ness, I never pedaled essential oils to my friends, families, neighbors or past school teachers.

My Mum's new Dr. Dimentote*: Her a beautiful act of abundance and self-worth, my mother treated herself to a handmade bag "a New York Times bestseller would have".
