Under US FTC LAW one must have an actual sample of the product being sold in any print or other media advertisement. what this means is , the nice perfect stack of round identical pancakes on the box of instant pancake mix, MUST be actual pancakes made with this instant powdered mix. but it does not prohibit advertisers hiring expert food artists to cook hundred of pancakes to acheive those perfect round stacks on the packaging and pro photographers to shoot them for the ads. as a merchant here it is my duty to show my product in its theoretical maximum effectiveness. We assume we are selling/marketing to mature adults who presumably are able to make responsible purchase decision being aware of the nature of "best light" 'advertising to even imply that shahara is engaging in false advertising is frankly absurd and to suggest that she should give way free add on light sets to compensate for people who .for whatever reason, refuse to learn how to use posers tools, is equally absurd ;-/. I will sell you instant pancake mix but I wont cook your breakfast for you...sorry
