ConAgra, which already controls 20% of the U.S. beef industry, 33% of the lamb market and nearly 10% of broiler production, would like to bring Holly Farms' Weaver frozen-chicken label into the same shed with its Armour, Banquet and Country Pride brands.

Advertisements and articles tout the diets' merits. Celebrity success stories like that of TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, who shed 67 lbs., heighten the interest. In all, the liquid regimens have grown into a $100 million-a-year industry. But the re-emergence of the diets has raised questions about their safety and long-term effectiveness...
