"Autoship is optional, it can be turned off."
Autoship isn't the problem. "Autoship" is often confused for "qualifying purchase," the amount of volume distributors are required to purchase. Even with autoship turned off, USANA will still require you to buy from them monthly.
"3% succeed in USANA, but its ok because 3% succeed in everything else."
Great! So you have exactly the same chances of becoming rich WITHOUT wasting time and money on USANA. Go try something that ISN'T a scam. :)
"Success isn't with the system, it's up to the person."
On the other hand, failure can be built into a system. Look, even to those who don't agree that USANA is a pyramid scheme, you must admit that pyramid schemes do exist. And those pyramid schemes can be considered "systems" where failure is a given.... a known percentage of those involved will get burned.
"What about proof?"
I'm glad you asked, it's all over this site, with links to the FTC and to the USANA comp plan itself. Now if someone is asking you to join USANA, note that they don't have proof of their claims, just hype. In fact, it is plastered all over USANA products that their statements have not been endorsed by the FDA!
"USANA is high priced because of its high quality."
In truth, USANA's products only cost about a fifth of their price to produce. Compare to another manufacturer, NBTY (manufacturer of Wal-mart supplements) who's production cost is more than half the sales price. Even if USANA's supplements are high quality, that doesn't justify the additional markup that has nothing to do with the production cost. I intend to do a follow-up post with more about the economic phenomenon causing this price discrepancy and showing the connection between the price of the products and their role in disguising the pyramid scheme.
In the meantime, don't assume that because something has a high price tag, that it must be high quality.
