I’m somewhat mystified. In the last five years, revenues increased ten-fold. It’s just in the last two years that revenue has fallen on a revenues per-center basis. I think Jenny Craig is going to be a major, major beneficiary of the baby boomers coming of age. . .their girths will get wider. I think the demographics are very much in the company’s favor. It also could be a beneficiary of the trend to reduce health care costs because obesity is symptomatic of potential health care problems.” Ronald Rotter, analyst Seidler Amdec Securities, Los Angeles Dollar amounts in millions
