Roy Blocher, you claim USANA will be the Microsoft and IBM of nutritional science - put your money where your mouth is...I'll wager you and any other supporter of this whacked company that USANA's deceptive business model will be revealed in due time. Fred Cooper VP of Operations from your beloved USANA did not argue these numbers: *"87 per cent of commission-earning Usana distributors don't make enough money to recover the cost of their monthly qualifying purchases from the company"; *"72.2 per cent of all Usana's commissions are earned by 7.7 per cent of commission-earning distributors."; and to add insult to your Associates, he said "that Usana believed most of the company's distributors were 'not interested in commissions' and were happy to get their monthly qualifying purchases of vitamins for their own use.";
that information came from the http://www.nbr.co.nz/usana

The numbers don't lie and one other alarming fact from USANA's own 2006 SEC filing reveals that USANA makes 86% of its net sales to its own distributors and only 14% to its preferred customers!! That's ridiculous - in order for a true sale to be recognized, the USANA products must be resold - but they cannot because they are marked up ridiculously. It's funny how these morons are defending USANA...
