Low-Carb diets will lead to a Bush defeat?
CNN ^ | March 29, 2004 | CNN

Jeff Greenfield, in his end of the show commentary on Inside Politics, surmised that Bush is in trouble come November thanks to Atkins dieters. How does he come to this improbable, and wishful, conclusion?

A study released last week showed that carbohydrate deprived dieters had low levels of serotonin, leading them to be grumpier. And grumpy people tend to vote incumbents out of office.

There are currently fifteen million people on the low-carb Atkins diet, therefore Bush will face the wrath of Grumpy Atkins dieters and be voted out of office in November, at least that's the way Jeff Greenfield see it.

melt some butter, cinammon, and equal on it

You might want to replace the Equal with Splenda or Sweet 'N Low. Nutrasweet/Aspartame seems to have a negative effect on weight loss, but sucralose and saccharine don't.
