Incidentally, I, and I assume many others who might more or less be fans of some resurgence of the diet, am not an unrestricted fan of the diet, as a diet for life.
I just sort of like some of it, and I like some of the idea of it bringing about some long-overdue change in overall food total consumption and types of food consumption. I also like the fact that this guy (Atkins) went about his business despite the naysaying from the smuttily arrogant University Professors and such. >Atkins kills ADM? A pleasant scenario...
