Notice the article attempts to curry favor for the supplement company by name-dropping minorities: "Herbalife sells vitamins through distributors...many of whom are lower-income Latinos or African-Americans."
It is as though we should immediately side with a company on the sole basis that it purports to help minorities.
Folks, not every company that purports to work with minorities is good.
Many of these supplement companies are, in fact, peddling snake oil[1]. Who their distributors are should not be a deciding factor. I think back to the old command[2], "Do not deny anyone justice in his lawsuit simply because he is poor, nor favor a person's lawsuit because he is poor."
