...touting everything as a cure-all or being “green” doesn’t mean it is bad, but to me, it often says more about the people doing the advertising than it does about the product.

True, and in many instances, they're being told by marketing folks that people like 'green', so the more they tie their product to the concept, the better consumers will 'feel' about using it. That doesn't work on me, and probably on most Freepers, but frankly, and sadly, it DOES work out in 'average America'.
