What is it about human nature that causes so many people to follow all the latest fads?

All I hear now is pilates this, pilates that... WTF! What's wrong with some good ol' fashioned cardio exercises and weight training? More than half of the people on my AIM buddy list are girls, and one day I was going through checking peoples away messages.. pilates, pilates, pilates!
Through a quick google search, apparently this method has been around for some time... but it's really not doing a damn thing for any of these people who I know are doing it.

And I'm really getting sick of Atkins being everywhere. Low carb this, low carb that. Whoop dee do! The whole thing has scared people into thinking that carbs are evil. You better not eat that hamburger bun - it's a killer!
I also over hear a lot of people at the gym saying something along the lines of "oh yeah I'm on the Atkins diet, but I can't help but eat [insert high carb food product] all the time." Guess what? You're not on the diet then!!! Either do it or don't!

Eh, enough ranting from me. I hope that was coherent enough to understand. I'm a little on the tired side right now..
