Apparently, Barnes & Noble thinks your mom is fat and needs to start dieting: the company sent an e-mail to it’s subscribers with a Mother’s Day gift list and the most prominently featured book was a diet book.
The book was probably chosen based on some algorithm that figured out the most popular books being purchased by women of a certain age group. But please, don’t buy your mom a diet book for Mother’s Day. Perhaps flowers would be a better choice.
