"... Ciabatta torn in hunks dunked in olive oil containing fresh crushed garlic, balsamic vinegar..."

Ye gods and little fishes!

What has more credibility, longevity, enjoyment, life, love, art, etc.--the Mediterranean delight you mentioned above; or the uptight Nutrition Nazi regime known in its current incarnation as "The Atkins Diet"?

I'm with the Ciabatta and against all "diets" that are perverse and against nature.

Huh?
Eat bacon & eggs for breakfast, or big fluffy omelettes made with lots of butter, mushrooms, sausage, cheese, and topped with salsa. For dinner? Big, juicy rib-eye steak, big salad with blue-cheese dressing, glass of merlot.
Lost 50 pounds in 8 months.
"Nutrition Nazi?" Hardly.

I'm with you on this, all things in moderation. It's amazing how many Freepers who won't be fooled by Democrat demagoguery will jump on the bandwagon for this fad diet.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that in three years, "Atkins" will be as passe as Pokemon and Ricky Martin are today.
