It couldn’t possibly be that Atkins was right and everyone else was wrong…

Personally, I think he’s right.

Personally, I think he's dead. :-\

In any event, what good can comes from Atkins and Sears is that people should cast the suspicious eye on carbos that had previously been cast on fats. For myself personally, it's a matter of exercise. If I exercise, I keep the 32-inch waist. If I don't, then I gotta try to find the box with the 36's.

What's actually happening is a return to the commonly accepted 'folk knowledge' of hundreds of years, before pointy-headed university nutritionists foisted their inane 'food pyramid' upon the American populace as yet another liberal Great Society social experiment.

That's true. Back in the 50's, when I was a kid, Mom used to always tell us kids that bread, potatos and sweets were the fattening things. I didn't even like the bread and potatos much then, though I do now.

Lucky you! I wish we were all so lucky. Atkins works for me a long with exercise. I am waiting for the moderation groupies to start preaching moderation to alcoholics.
