The plaintiff, Jody Gorran, who is being assisted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an advocacy group that supports a vegan diet, is seeking $28,000 in damages.

Maybe if the man didn't live on pure fat he wouldn't have a problem. Atkin can be unhealty if you don't do it correctly. Then again there are many things that can be good for you, that can become unhealthy if you are do it wrong.

yes and he also kept on dieting using atkins AFTER the doctor told him about his cholestrol... THAT was HIS choice... he was a pretty thin looking man, and he said he weighed 145 but wanted to get down to 132.. wasn't it???? That sounds way low for the size build he had. People have choices... like the idiot who wanted HOT coffee from McDonalds, then spilled it by holding it between her legs and got burned.. so she sued and won... Duh! Mcdonalds didn't tell her that was where the coffee was suppose to go... she chose to put it there.

Unfortunatly the people here in the US look to blame everyone else for their problems. Pople can't wait to sue and get money for evey little thing. My favorite is the people that are 200 lbs over weight and sue McDonalds.
What is next every candy or potato chip company willl be sued???
