Random observations...

Why are all the ladies on the lean cuisine (and other dieting) commercials always something like 110 pounds and still feel the need to diet? To me that seems a little bit more like they're just anorexic.

I think it's annoying to show skinny as hell chic's on a commercial for dieting.

to make us fat girls feel even fatter

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I dunno how to respond to that comment, other than fat is relative. in the middle ages bigger women were prime stock.

To make women think that they too can have the prefect body if they just eat that product. Advertising is all about illusion.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

But then it would be false advertising, unless they used some sort of 'time lapse' technique in their commercial from now on.

 

[Eridanus]

They're not out and out claiming that their product will give you a perfect ten body, but by choosing the women they do to represent them they are subliminally (is that a word/) suggesting that a "10" outcome. It is the same way for women's clothing, makeup etc.

I just don't understand why they can't simply present the facts. Talk about the product... how it's low fat, low carbs, low sodium, etc. Instead they make up these things that, imo, sometimes just con people into giving them money.

It's like diet pills. Take these! You'll lose 80 pounds in two months! First off, that's not healthy, and secondly... why can't they make mention of changing your diet and exercising as well?

I know I know, Americans are lazy nowadays.

I agree with you totally. It's not just Americans either, BTW.

My missus was hiding some of those diet pills in a vitamin C bottle. I wondered why I didn't feel so great when I took them for a cold!:eek

I used to eat Vitamin C pills at my grandmas, almost like they were candy. lol

to some dieting isn't "being on a diet", it is simply a way of life. Some people will eat healthy forever. I don't see any problems with that. How do you think all the actresses stay slim throughout their 30s and 40s? They are ALWAYS on a diet.

I don't know about a Diet.. When I start to gain to much Weight.. I just stop eating...

Ok well more like cut down.. I snack alot, and I start gaining.. so I cut out the snacks and stick to the 2 or 3 meals a week.. weight goes right back down
