Not that I agree 100% with this article, but it looks as if the health establishment is finally on the run. All the obesity might be catching up with the ridiculous food pyramid that obviously has failed. I personally attempt to not mix carbs and fat (ie carb and protein meals in the morning and protein-fat meals at night with amazing success) not cut out carbs, but none the less find this article interesting.


If the members of the American medical establishment were to have a collective find-yourself-standing-naked-in-Times-Square-type nightmare, this might be it. They spend 30 years ridiculing Robert Atkins, author of the phenomenally-best-selling ''Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution'' and ''Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution,'' accusing the Manhattan doctor of quackery and fraud, only to discover that the unrepentant Atkins was right all along. Or maybe it's this: they find that their very own dietary recommendations -- eat less fat and more carbohydrates -- are the cause of the rampaging epidemic of obesity in America. Or, just possibly this: they find out both of the above are true.
