Atkin's Diet

[Nystul]

You know, just a few years back when Cheerios was the big health fad, multigrain bread might have been labeled "high in dietary fiber". It would still be a fad, but at least it would make an iota of sense. The problem is that carbohydrate already has a pretty specific definition (an intuitive one, even!), and giving words new meanings which contradict the ones they already have only leads to confusion. Certainly people who are looking at this diet without consulting a doctor or doing thorough research may not have an understanding of what it really involves (and thus may end up putting themselves on a dangerous diet), and certainly people who look at low carb bread will not have any clue what that actually means.

I just hope Shell doesn't start selling low carb gasoline :)
