Sure they mention diet and exercise in the same way gambling or alcohol ads recommend being “responsible”, or how TikTok talks about their automatic screen limiting time functionality, which they love to promote but internally know does nothing.


I’m not sure where the goalposts are in this discussion. My doctor assigned me a dietitian. My insurance company assigned me 12 weekly modules that cover diet, exercise, mental health and cooking before they would pay for it. The ads I see on the subway for Ro have the words “with diet and exercise” in bold letters on them.

So I just don’t know what to make of this “magic beans” deception claim.

It’s starting to feel like a certain group of people, for reasons I can’t discern, are desperate for some kind of “gotcha.”
