Its all crrrappp!! (insert Scottish Accent)

But it worries me how many people are not going to read the details but jump on the bandwagon and bash Atkins and LCing.

I'm already hearing it in the work place and on radio

Cool Re: Man Suing Atkins MisQuotes Book: Read Transcript here

Actually, I'm hoping that this lawsuit ends up showing PRCM for what it really is - not concerned physcians, but a group of extremist vegetarian animal rights advocates.

This lawsuit may be all the rope they need to hang themselves.

Very interesting. I can't figure out this guy's angle - he is clearly intelligent (I did a web search and spoke to folks from my FLA home town) - he is quite a businessman, and he has been involved in a number of programs to benefit communities where he lives. So why is he getting involved with the PCRM and willfully misreading DANDR - especially when his family has a history of heart disease? Beats me. I think Atkins will be vindicated and this guy will be embarrassed and humiliated. Don't forget, we live in a society where it is always someone's fault when something happens to you - genetics and serendipity have nothing to do with it.

He will lose, but will not be embarassed or humiliated. I saw him and he's clearly a wing-nut, and will continue to spew mis-information. It was really nice to see such a well-prepared journalist.
