Read the latest from the leading edge research being done at Harvard on nutrition and diet and you will see that the traditional "food pyramid" put forth by the FDA is in process of revision to be very closely aligned with Atkin's view. Science once again wins out over the ego of past and present nutritional elitists. Atkins was ahead of his time! His passing is a loss to humanity!

This is so not so. If you want to read a book on real nutrition, read Dr. Walter Willett's Ead, Drink, and Be Healthy. He's Chairman of the Dept of Nutrition at Harvard and developed the food pyramid below (notice how he separates complex carbs from the simple ones). It doesn't look much like Atkins to me.

The famous USFDA "food pyramid" appeared as a result of dishonest politicians. In particular, George McGovern pushed this as Senator to help out Archer-Daniels-Midland and the other grain super-conglomerates, General Mills, Nabisco, etc.
