I remember back in the day (the 70s) that the food that MANY of us fed was Kennel Biscuit (sp?). The young and the old were fed the same thing. Dogs lived to be 14+ years of age and there didn't seem to be the problems that we have now. (Of course, environmentally speaking, we ARE a very "polluted" society.) Now there are specialized foods of every kind: for puppies, active dogs, inactive dogs, senior dogs. There are vegetarian dog foods, grain dog foods, grain-free dog foods, beef, chicken, lamb, bison, rabbit, venison, you-name-it kinds of dog foods. There is canned. There is raw of varying types. So why be surprised about a "weight loss" kit? (Next we'll probably see Weightwatchers for dogs. LOL) JQ Public will buy into it, most likely.
