This is a direct quote from today's story on cnn.com

"Atkins, whose diet stresses meat, eggs and cheese over pasta, bread and vegetables, died last April at 72 from head injuries sustained from a fall on an icy sidewalk."

Yeah, I read in today's paper, where they were talking about Mayor Bloomberg's comments about Atkins, they mentioned in the article how the Atkins Diet doesn't allow Potatoes, Pasta, and Vegetables.

Just shows that people don't really understand the full concept of this WOE

NeedaChange & TBrady.

You might take some comfort in knowing that the big tractor-trailers that deliver Atkins products are all white, with great pics of veggies all overthem and the legend: "Who says there's nothing to eat on Atkins?"

(It turns out I live near a shippng hub, so I see a lot of them. LOL!)
