She argued that, despite a number of studies, no one knew what the long- term effects might be.)))

I have known several dieticians. None of them could cook a meal worth eating, and all of these were either significantly overweight or morbidly obese.

Our rate of adult-onset (Type 2) diabetes is burgeoning. Half of black people over 50 already have it or are on the brink--they have the highest rate. Type 2 was unheard-of in children until recently--now it's an epidemic that too much television-watching cannot explain. The incidence of this in children is all the proof that this silly (probably fat) dietician needs.

Atkins used to try to get the dieticians to test his theories. But the dieticians were too busy with their "food pyramids"--turning the American table into a feedlot of grains and sugar, fattening us up for the kill.

And these same dieticians, I believe, are stuffing those with both kinds of diabetes with too much sugar. I can't use stuff marketed to diabetics, because there's too much sugar in it.

There is very little money in meat when compared to grain and sugar. If you want to see a huge markup, look at breakfast cereal. The world is awash with grain but you pay a fortune for a box of grain and sugar mixed together.

I read an analysis a few years ago, of the agriculture department food pyramid diet for people , compared to the agriculture department diet for fattening pigs fast for slaughter, and they were basically the same diet.
