I understand HellonWheels concern and bitterness. The Atkins fad has had an effect on commerce and other things. Anyone who knows the stock market can see how significant changes have occured in "carbo" industries and the protein industries. That's how things work in our society, though. There are points in our lives when these realities become unusually annoying. Anyway, the Atkins diet is idiotic. It may cause weight loss but it is a cardiovascular nightmare. A diet based on super saturated animal fats and protein? .................. Insane, Suicidal Vanity.
HellonWheels should begin shopping at whole food markets. There are alternatives....You will survive!
Thank you, and I agree completely. You summed up a major part of my concern!. Apart from my own personal concerns with IBS, it disturbs me that an unproven diet which as you said, will be a cardiovascular nightmare, can dictate society to the extent it has.
