Then what about fitness instructors? They interact with fat people everday and have better figures than the average person!
And that include surgeons who perform liposuction and tummy lifts ect. A thin person married to a chubby person.....
I tend to agree that there are a lot of extreme ideas that come from L.O.A these days.
And that may be one of the reasons for the criticisms against it.
In a way it can simillar to a person who is just introduced to a religious concept and becomes very enthusastic about it promoting the ideas with a well meaning intention, but without the investigation to go with it. However religions also have a problem with extremists views, idealogy, ect. especially with it's leaders and teachers, (i.e Texas polygamy cult)
It can be the same with L.O.A ... the idea is nice, and shows potential, but a lot of people are doing the same thing that religious cults and extremists are doing- projecting extreme views of L.O.A .

That's just it though. This is one of the things they roll out of the woodwork. If the law of attraction really is a law then what you said doesn't make sense;
If I drop a brick on your head from 20 feet above but you don't believe in gravity someone's still going to have a lump on their head and it won't be me.
A law's existence doesn't depend on whether people believe it or not surely.
I might try this next time I get caught for breaking the speeding law;
"No officer, I will not accompany you to the cells, I do not believe in the speeding law."

You can't argue with that!
Another serious question is going to come up concerning this too.... how can a 1 year old child focus on famine?
My intention is not to discourage belief in this idea, but only to take a good look at the questions and views surrounding this concept and see what conclusions may be come to. If it is false, then yes of course I would discourage it, but if it has any promise, then it deserves to be studied, investigated until we can make some sense of it, to use practically.
I enjoy this discussion everyone, thanks ...
