I've found a good rule of thumb in business is that you can only be successful in the long run if your value proposition is a win-win-win for you, your suppliers, and your customers.
When a majority of your customers are being unknowingly screwed over as you reap a huge amount of unnecessary producer surplus, it's a losing proposition in the end. Companies like Herbalife can just do it on a scale where it takes a long time to fizzle out.
