Most diet crazes are completely fatuous. It's not a lack of education (because we can't know everything about everything) - to me it's a chronic lack of self awareness and self responsibility that manifests in most people sincerely believing that everything that happens to them is the result of other actors, and not their own actions. So if you're feeling fat and bloated, it's not because you can't stop stuffing crap into your mouth and are too lazy to exercise, it's because some evil conspiracy is feeding you, the helpless victim, foods which you are not designed to eat. Maybe it is the decline in religion - without a seemingly senseless deity to blame - the search goes on for other reasons. When the answer is always in the one who asks.
