Possibly this is one matter that vulgar marxism will explain. The Womens’ magazines have always emphasized “new” weight-loss programs; it’s very nearly the bread-&-butter issue that draws readers & hence advertisers.
For what it’s worth, Liza heard an editor of a major women’s mag say
at a conference that they know very well that the only way to lose
weight is to eat less and exercise more, but their readers don’t want
to hear that. The readers want “new” diets all the time, which
presumably would substitute for eating less and exercising more.
