It's just a "WORD" my friends

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about the word . . . "DIET" . . . being just a word that explains a "style" of eating . . .

It actually has "nothing" to do with being a word that's "bad" or describing the "discomfort" of "LIMITING" the food we eat.

That would be the "DIET INDUSTRY'S" doing . . . putting such a "NEGATIVE" light on this word . . .

You see . . . this "industry" started way back in the 1830s . . . when Sylvester Graham . . . that right my friends . . . the man that introduced to us the first "Graham cracker" . . .

Promoted "whole grains" and "vegetarianism" . . . for HEALTHY living.

Then in 1863 . . . a man named William Banting designed a "low-carb" diet book . . . this was his way of promoting "HEALTHY eating".

But then . . . in the late 1800s . . . this "healthy diet industry" . . . evolved into a "dangerous" WEIGHT-LOSS industry . . . with weight loss "aids" like . . . Arsenic pills!!!

And in the early 1900s . . . the "BRAINWASHING" began . . .

The first American "slimming" salons opened . . . calorie counting was a new fad . . . and "diets" where everywhere . . . like the "Grapefruit diet" and "Cabbage diet" . . .

And with this . . . around the 1950s . . . "diet PILLS" . . . were introduced to the general public.

So . . . why was there such a "switch" . . . and NEED for "WEIGHT LOSS" . . . instead of JUST a "healthy diet"???

Well . . . this was also the time that "FAST FOOD" was introduced to the public.

We were NO LONGER eating a "healthy diet"!!!

We were NOW . . . eating for "CONVENIENCE" due to our new busy life style . . .

And the world was evolving to what we THOUGHT were bigger and better things!!!

Then in the 1960s . . . Weight Watchers was founded and many professionalized groups were formed to "support" models!

Now . . . due to our "unhealthy" fast food lifestyle . . . we were "obsessed" with being "thin" again . . . like many role models!!!

And in the 1970s . . . "fad" diets continued with diets like the "Atkins" diet . . .

And the "diet industry" was valued at $50 MILLION . . .

So, let's fast forward . . .50 years . . .

The "diet" industry in 2020 . . . was valued at $72 BILLION . . .

And in 2025 . . .we're at $90 BILLION and growing . . .

What's wrong with this picture people???

"IF" . . . the "diet industry" . . . was REALLY working . . . we'd all be "slim" again . . . 1o times over with that amount of money being spent by the general public to be "healthy".

So, tomorrow . . . let's continue to discover "why" diet just don't work!
