Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

But by buying the bottles at absurd prices, they are literally subscribing to pseudoscience. They're sending it money (it seems these promotional packs went out to many writers, to publicise the upcoming series, so it was a serious total) that a serious publisher ought to be using to fund a wildlife photographer or something. Instead, the snakeoil industry got the cash. Even if their intention was a "controversy" about them (which would indicate they had no confidence that the program can be marketed on its merits), it's still chucking money at con men for the sake of publicity.
