Me and a couple co workers were talking about that same thing on Monday. We decided it was because you wouldn't need the weight loss remedies without the yummy recipes.

Asevan	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:59AM It's a symptom of cultural schizophrenia. Think about how women are portrayed in blatantly sexual ways, but are called *** and **** if they have a lot of sex/have sex with a lot of people. Rated: +2Vote for this!

degenerate1991	Posted Nov 3rd, 2009 at 10:44PM Because they have to put in the recipes to keep you eating junk and fat. If you lost weight, you wouldn't need their advice on how to lose weight. That's my cynical view. The reality is that there's little rhyme or reason as to what goes into those magazines. Rated: +1Vote for this!

waltzwithme	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 1:18AM Every magazine is very aware of who their demographics are and they choose their articles and ads accordingling. They know that the women who buy their magazines are interested in collecting recipes, may see the cover as a special dessert they want to make for the next holiday and at the same time are fighting a constant battle with weight and are concerned about their health. Everything that appears in a magazine is very well thought out. Rated: +1Vote for this!
