I mean, when you consider that in the beginning it was all about dieting, and then people were maybe losing but looking just as crappy afterward, no health benefit, etc; or were not losing cuz they had to eat so damn little… telling people to exercise seems logical. It's easier to lose if you can burn more and therefore up your cals to "not constantly starving" levels. But then, as everything does, shit gets twisted, and you have all sorts of programs that are "just exercise, don't diet" and you get plenty of people who can't lose because they just eat more (even if it's not a matter of feeling like they deserve it, just the nature of homeostasis).
Lots of good messages get corrupted as they are output to the masses… even without trying.
