losing weight or something else

My weekly grocery seems to be getting more and more interesting. I'm always finding some interesting product, overhearing an intriguing conversation or two, meeting an acquaintance or friend and of course finding things to blog about ;-) So, what happened today was that when I went into the Health and Beauty section, I found a full size poster that asked the question do diet pills work in big bold letters along with a end-cap display of product. It got me thinking about just how huge this industry is, and how many people try all kinds of things to lose weight. The number of magazines, books, websites are growing by the day it seems and they still don't seem to be able to keep up.
