Low-carb fadmeisters Atkins files for bankruptcy. Bad business decisions? Perhaps.
Or, maybe Americans have realized that Grandma was right: fruit IS better for you than Canadian bacon!

Gosh, I didn't see that one coming from a mile away...!
HA! Who would have thought that you would have to exercise to lose weight...the horror!
Now what am I going to do with that case of pork rinds.
What a pity. I have diabetes, which I control by diet and exercise. To keep my blood sugar where I want it I can't eat more than about 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrate per meal. The low carb craze has been really helpful in giving me more choices: even mashed cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatoes at one chain restaurant we eat at occasionally.
I don't defend Atkins, but I do note that when I started eating low carb to control my blood sugar I stopped being terribly hungry starting two hours after every meal, and I lost weight without trying. That may only work for people with pre-diabetes, but it sure worked for me.
